After practising all day Saturday with my wagtail flipper/whirlwind, using my hand and also on a pole, let myself loose on some paying custies this morning.
Bungalows, some quite high and with hoppers were all cleaned without my feet ever leaving the ground to a very good standard, also using gg3 for the first time and really beggining to like the stuff. The hoppers were fanned by twisting the short telescopic pole, as was the top of the main pane with the lower part being done with the wagtail in my hand, very quick.
Done 3 two up two down houses that I normally use ladders on by using the wagtail on a 5 meter pole for upstairs with good results.
Beggining to really like this tool a lot and can only see me using it more and more as time goes on. Wfp will always be used the most but the wagtail wont be far behind for me from now on.
I have never used an applicator at all because I have a sponge fixed to my squegee and its very fast and this wagtail is every bit as quick but much lighter and allows you to fan much more quickly.
Wish I had got one 20 years ago.
Cheers Wagga for pointing me in the right direction mate.

Will use it on everything that gets bladed, too quick not to use. Got the 14 inch.

Soap up n flip, wiggle it all about then stand back and admire with friends.

I just bought one of these. Only done a little blade work, I do WFP, but thought I'd give it a go. Fingers crossed. Must get a pole for it, what's best for two story's at a reasonable price? I'm getting a few shops and bungalows and WFP seems pointless getting it all out, be quicker trad if I get a good hang on it.
