mostly just on its own
tho i DO own an angle arm ,and its a handy gizmo worth buying , but i rarely use it -its for deep set in windows which i dont come across much
So if Iām having trouble catching on I canāt blame not having the angle arm. Haha
On a more serious note Iām glad to hear that wagtails work fine without the angle adapter. I was under the impression that using it together with the angle arm was the preferred technique

The other point we often overlook Mike is glass condition and frequency. Check out Trad Man in the U.K. His first clean workflow is night and day to his regular work which seems even on domestic to be monthly to six weekly. If I was doing houses monthly over here it would be a dream. In the city here our water is soft and has lowish TDS (60-80) so the glass, even when dirty and dusty is relatively pain free to scrub and blade. However less than 15 minutes away we have a town where the water is hard, and the glass, especially modern glass, invarably has a āroughā feel on the surface from contaminants and/or calcium spotting and because our cleans are quarterly at most, every clean is like a first clean. Blading feels like running across fine sandpaper and any small error in technique gets punished. The worst glass in the town is the stuff from about 30 years ago that are in the early bronze Aluminium frames which themselves are calcified pitted and tend to eat rubberā¦ soā¦ maybe this needs to be taken into consideration as well when we find the tools arenāt performing as well as weād hoped.

Based on some of the ideas offered here Iām going to try out my 10" wagtail with āno padā on jobs with lots of transoms. Maybe cut in the top half of regular panes as well.
At some point Iāll have to order a Moerman 10" pad and clips so I can try out the whole enchilada.

Pretty much the only time I use a pad is either a) when itās super hot outside (and then I put the pad on my ettore 18") so I can squeegee before the water flashes off or b) when Iām in a customerās house doing high windows and need to not drip.
