Nice to see you back on the block Pete. Good to see a pro at work with your squeegee techniques, I'm left handed but now cut in the way you do and I'm happy with that. Those bikes, both Honda's? Couldn't quite make out what machines they were, the yellow one looking like a Hornet and the red one a Trans-alp? Hoping to pick up a 600Hornet in the near future myself, been off two wheels for too long now. Keep Yuh vids coming mate. Take care.

hi Pete lets hear it for all the windy bikers I've a Aprilia tuono 1100 v4 factory and a 1957 Norton dominator. Lots of Ducati (Volkswagen) around these days. Don't think I will be trading in the fairy for that soap though. Great video

Hi mate, as that an old roof rack you've bolted to the inside of your van for wfp and brush storage?

Hi Pete, not always advisable to show the fruits of your labour to the world ( the two bikes 🏍️) always someone that will be jealous not me two cracking bikes and I’m sure there great fun to ride on those long and wined country roads. With the glideiator I think you should do another video but using say the unger handle and channel as 90% of window cleaners don’t like or use the liquidator channels because as we all know the liquidator channels can be a pain in the ass and you have to use a lot of soap as you see in your video when there’s at least 8”-10” inches of soap being squeezed on to the washer each side . I’m not bashing the liquidator channels I use them but god they frustrate the hell out of me. Good video as always.

You'll have to build it up a bit at a time. Keep advertising! Facebook local groups are free to use just don't spam them. Put fliers through doors and just keep plodding away building up your gear as you go. Perseverance is key in this game.

Any possibility that you could test out more professional window cleaning soaps? Theres Windowmaster from Buzil here in germany which many say its good altho on the windows here in our house it doesnt work for whatever reason. GlasKing from Kiehl. Squeegee Off from Ettore and many more these days. A long time ago in their videos Unger said dish soap would be enough to use, in their new videos they want to sell you their professional grade stuff which they say is the best for window cleaning. If Unger is good at one thing its marketing and selling eskimos ice cream......

Thats a great question! I've used both methods for 15 years. Over that time I've been able to compare the results of both. I always find the quality of a wfp clean is not as good (once dry and you can see the real results) compared to a nose to glass clean using traditional methods. In our business we want top quality everytime with as little gamble element as possible. With wfp there is always a gamble element to it and as most users are gone before it drys its impossible to say to customers you will do a good job with no drip marks/spotting etc. All to often I've noticed missed dirt on windows that the brush didn't remove but the trad tools managed no problem. Of course this is just our business model and not for everyone. All I do is aim for the best we can for our clients and only use wfp as a method if we can't safely access the windows. Of course we also charge accordingly
