Thread: Pole Detailing

Buddy I use to wrap a rag around the pole and it was a pain in the *ss, because it will fall off at some point and in the winter it sucks to drop a good rag in the slush.

I started using the unger clamp with is awesome but bulky, then I switched to using a old plastic squeegee handle with an elastic around it; this method worked the best because it was less bulky and you could make small adjustments to get clean dry cloth, were as the unger clamp is a shot gun approach.

cheers.

LOL! I hope you someday find a rubber band. I have tried the wagtail on a pole and I'm just not good enough with it, so like you I still rock the ninja. I removed the side clips that come on like in the video Mark referenced. I also use the green unger clips in it to give it a dog-eared effect. It works pretty good for not leaving much water to detail.

I carry a 6 inch squeegee that I put just about an inch of the rubber on the glass and pull down. This eliminates a lot of the water on the edge, but it means switching out from my main squeegee. Someone else had recomended this procedure and it works well for me. I suppose carrying an extra pole might be even easier.

i use an elastic bandand in a pinch i have used a hair elastic.

Like others I wrap a huck towel around the end of the poll, hate the method, sometimes it falls off, sometimes it smears water, just crappy, big time consumer and your arms are already smoked and you only have seconds to get the water off before it spots.

Somewhere a water fed guy is laughing at this thread...
