Rather special way, in a circular motion to swirl.

You actually took the time to find all that and list it? Brave

Here are my two cents about these:

1.) fascinating in each of their own respects

2.) Most are fast in theory, but no edges were detailed

3.) I only saw a towel, one time. Doesn’t anyone wipe the edges anymore?

4.) Speaking of edges, did anyone wipe the sills or ledges?

5.) What about all of the missed spots of water/soap and the streaks that weren’t addressed? You know that there are some with the speed.

6.) My hats off to the Asian guy in the airport. That guy can pop a squat like its no ones business. I bet his knees hurt at the end of the shift.

7.) The Circle Guy was pretty cool. But doesn’t the circle method cause you to go over the same spot on the window several times. That looks like double or triple the work for what—too look cool?

8.) The fellas that are using the poles, especially the guys that walk from one end of the glass to the other (maybe ten to twelve feet ((roughly 2-3 meters for you non- American types))), are they really getting everything of of that glass?

9.) Most of the videos were shot from the outside of the glass perspective. I noticed that there were a lot of really wet scrubbers (mops) and lots of messy water drippings. Do you take that method inside and risk slinging water all over the fancy cars behind you?

10.) Not to belittle any of these videos at all. I think that they are a great exposition of skill and tallent, but how many of them really function like that on a daily basis–all day long?

I hope that I am not being a fool here and totally missing something. I realize that these guys are fast. But as a business owner, I have to question their accuracy and finishing technique. If my guys left the windows like these folks are walking away from them, I’d be out of business in two weeks. The solution, I suppose, to this quagmire is that I assume, and one can only assume here without being present to witness the event, that the completion of the window cleaning (wiping of sills, ledges, floors, fancy sports car behind you that gets dirty, soapy water dropped all over it, and finishing buffing all of the left over streaks) is all taking place when the video is not recording.

This supposed factoid, takes time to go back and complete before you leave. I have said this before and I still believe it, but being fast is good, but having 100% accuracy and control is great!

Now, I am sorry that I am rambling on here. I mean no disrespect to any of the Professional window cleaners in these videos. They obviously all have a great understanding for the job and a wonderful talent. But,as an Owner of a window cleaning business, I find it all a bit silly .

Thanks for listening. Sorry to burn out your eyeballs with all the wording.

I love using the s swirl on larger windows…its faster and it really does not leave water around the edges that regular straight pulls seem to leave

I do the Cirular a lot when there are people watching on the inside, more kids because they like it.

kids seem so fascinated by us…why? :confused:I guess we’re entertainment for them:)

they watch so when we’re gone they can put their fingers back on the windows:p

I watched a few of the videos, and as an extreme newbie, I could even spot “mistakes”. I hope these are just promotional exaggerations of wc talent. If I hired one of these guys to do my commercial building - they wouldn’t be back. Quality requires being thorough - not just racing to the finish line. Just my new 2 cents…

Well said. Where in the Midwest are you located?

I had this group of kids watching me one day with their parents. The best line came from one of the kids when she said “Look mom, he’s shaving the window!”. I never thought about that before, but that’s exactly what it looked like. (btw, I was not using GG4, so there was tons of bubbles, just the way I like it.)

Does this mean we can start calling you Bubble Boy?!:smiley:

completely agree with “I do windows”. It seems to me that detailing is not shown on most you tube window cleaning videos…even some very famous people in the business dont bother.

In the south, when it’s hot, being fast can be a life saver. I only go as fast as accuracy allows. As the fanning motion “cuts” the water away from the frames instead of piling it up (on at least one of them), less “ragging” is required, since the mess is all at the bottom of the pane. You can rest assured that where there is a mess, that it will be attended to.
As to kids…love um…and over the years have been amazed by how many say “look…the snow is melting” And the one that said “look…that man has a doughnut haircut” I didn’t like that little $&%!
: )

well said bert , i can’t tell you how many times i have said to a helper “if you want to get fast ,you will have to slow down!”
