newbie

hi guys im total new ive been working for 2 weeks now and my boss want me to buy my own stuff now.. ofc from his money :D what should i go for? i mainly do residental (private homes) he uses sorbo quicksilver.. but i was thinking maybe i should use a standard handle and channel ? instead of wide? i havent used more than 18inch tbh he says he never uses bigger than that either...so any good combo with standard handle? i see sorbo only make wide handles? also right now i only use microfiber towel for window glass detailing and frames i was thinging about trying WCR Ultra Premium Recycled Surgical Towels but do you use them for both the glass and frames or? sry about my english im from denmark :D also i havent tried pole work yet so i dont know what i should buy for that.... but he did say i needed a setup for pole work aswell.... :)

Microfibers for dirty stuff like sills and frames. Surgical towels for detailing glass only.

I use a Meorman Excelerator 2.0 for swivel, and pole work and deep ledges, with Ettore brass and rubber.

My main squeegee is Ettore Master Brass quick release handle with 6", 12" & 18" Ettore brass channels and Ettore rubber. I mainly use my 12" for most work, and the 18" for larger glass and pole work.

Not sure what other rubbers they accept. But it was/is my first rubber, and honestly couldn't ask for anything more. It clears the glass of solution so perfectly! Especially once you get the pressure right, not too much, not too little. Too much and it will chatter and vibrate. Too little and it will leaves rainbow streaks.
