Water fed Pole

How do you all get more strength in your WFP (the brush)

If i go traditional and use my walnut pad i know the little areas of bug dropping come off because i give them a good scrub. when i do this with a WFP, it doesnt have enough rough texture and strength to really remove these blotches.

I’m currently using a Unger nLITE powerpad, and have a normal WFP brush.
It works great, but once i use this then go inside the house to finish off the inside, it annoys me that the inside is perfect but the outside remains blotchy with bug dropping.

What on earth do you guys use to keep this process consistent.

Sometimes first cleans need nose to glass kind of scrubbing. Sometimes you just need a scrub pad attachment to your WFP set up. Water fed pole isn’t an end-all to traditional nose to glass, but for most cleans it is a great tool to get a nice clean window.

yellow bee droppings, esp baked on in the sun ones, are definitely the water pole’s nemesis

there’s many products to work with, depending on each unique situation that can help, but there’s still no end all be all attachment/pad/scrubber solution to this out there yet

Pre-soak / Pre-Scrub is the go to for this. Give them a quick once over with the water and brush, let it sit for a few minutes and it should loosen the dropping up enough to get them clean.

Use this or the Tucker version with a walnut pad on it. I think the power pad or xero big scrubber have too much area to get concentrated pressure.

This is surpsingsly agressive and light - XERO Lite Nylon Brush | Water Fed Brushes | XERO Water Fed — XERO Products

cool, going to order one to try

as a suggestion, something aggressive in the middle but with hoghair on the outside perimeter to remove the leftover shadows would be a great version

we get so much high heat in so cal that stuff just bakes on and dries out to crispy brittle things behaving almost like a paint drip where a presoak does not help

the quickest answer for me so far has been the blue micrfiber pad with stainless steel woven in through it from ‘those we do not speak of’, feels like running fingers backwards over shark skin or something and breaks it down consistenly on the first pass. I would love to see something from xero’s creativeness!

@Chris

Bruce, do you use that pad with their brush or separately?

i have both setups
