Cool wagtailing. I have a modded 12"(was a14) high flyer, it lives in a samurai hip bucket. Mod 1. Dimple the track on the back to limit disk travel. 2. Attach large head sheet metal screws(self tapping) on the pivots to make adjustments on the tension. 3. Use an old mop cover to mod a thicker pad, cut it to exactly the plate size, sew on loop Velcro back. 4. Open the channel more with a large flat driver to accept Ettore blades, etc...
Great wagging video! What is the rubber blade retention on that squeegee. I use flipper types w/ set screw retention, makes for easy blade flip/change.
i wore the catch button on my hi-flyer so i took a soldering irou and remelted the button and pushed it up so that it would catch when i fliped it......works great.
How do you like your Connect? Here in Europe they don't come with automatic gear box, so I went with a VW Caddy ... Is the high flyer your favorit wagtail?
Liam Leach some rubber needs to be worn in , in order to leave no streaks especially hard rubber . Hard rubber will last longer But with first use it will tend to leave streaks or lines .soft rubber I've found is better .
So for zero detailing do you dog ear the tool like everyone else seems to do cause I find you can accomplish zero detailing with any squeegee just depends on your technique. I'm just curious if the wagtail is worth me getting At the moment I use the moerman fliq but its a nightmare at times As the rubber doesn't last as long. So I might have to change to the wagtail but I dont want to have to butcher the tool by dog earring it It's quite expensive here in the UK.
Is the wagtail high flyer any good for residential work which what I do .I'm caught in too minds Whether to get the wagtail high flyer Or the moermon excelerator .
I use 24" solely for plastic acrylic windows that require straight pulls. Most of these panels have to be removed/flipped from the track and screen side of the acrylic done inside of the lanai/house. A large combination squeegee saves your elbow due to not reaching for your mop thus you essentially eliminate a few motions. As any window cleaner knows doing that eliminates wear and tear on your wrist and saves you time.
2:21 - that technique!!! wow - great stuff
and 4:52 LOL

My new wag tail sticks. I was wondering if you could sand that little nipple down some to loosen it up?
whats that angle arm? You think they got it on amazon?

Good job Fluff. That little pole is called the flex pole. They make a longer one but not too many have it
Fluff Daddy Sure thing. I saw Willie using a 24 foot Wagtail pole and it looked like it worked great the the tools
It collapses like about 6 or 8 feet. Something to that nature
Fluff Daddy did you make that blue pole and how can I get one or make one?
BC Window Cleaning Wagtail you could get it from. Some distributors may have it.
M.A.W. Cleaning & Music ok I'll check Google, thanks the video!
Nice work Fluff! Made me want to get mine back out and give it a go again
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
Realy nice skills I never work before with wagtail now I'm more looking forward to I'm mostly working with moerman but I like to try new stuff

Nice tips on how to use the High Flyer ! Thanks
How does it leave no streaks whatsoever? I have recently bought a good sorbo squeegee and it still always leaves streaks no matter what I do!
Thanks, yeah I've tried with the brand new rubber, must be the technique i suppose.
Liam Leach some rubber needs to be worn in , in order to leave no streaks especially hard rubber .
Hard rubber will last longer
But with first use it will tend to leave streaks or lines .soft rubber
I've found is better .
Thanks this is helpful, I think I'll have to put a lot more effort into figuring out the perfect angle.

His customers in this video "Our window cleaner is the best. He does every window 10 times, just to be sure!"
HAHA!
Epic Bro 😎👍👍😎
Your great
nice Video ! , this looks like a great tool for Ladder work
No news on 24" or 22" Highflyer. Everyone bug the crap out of Willie.
Thanks for the info
I did use those sizes in more traditional squeegees, now an 18 Wagtail is the biggest I use.

She got back, I guess some War Boys intercepted a shipment of Aluminum and they got held up. All good now!
Your lucky in the U.S .Only sizes we get are the 14 and 18 inch in the UK.
👍
Don't worry Peter I'm far far from that
I got a couple of high flyers, the small and large one. A big waste of money. Garbage!!!
Sorry to hear that!
