You still need to master the straight pull. If you can fan, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to make a clean straight pull. The principals are the same, and there are times when a straight pull makes more sense.
If you’re having trouble with something, you should slow down and figure out exactly what is going wrong. You need to think about what [B]should be[/B] going on (IE “the rubber should stay completely in contact with the glass at all times, removing all of the water”) and if it’s not, figure out what is happening that is preventing this.
For example, if you are leaving water for 1/2" all along the window gasket, your squeegee may be riding the gasket instead of staying completely on the glass. If that is what’s happening, then slow your squeegee pull down and keep the rubber completely on the glass and don’t allow it to drift over the gasket.
If you stick with it, thinking and paying attention while you work, you will become the squeegee’s master and it will do exactly what you want it to.
Best wishes,
