The difference between
amateur and pro results? Technique. With the right squeegee and method, you’ll
achieve a flawless, streak-free finish every time.
Pro Technique Breakdown
Overlap Passes: Each squeegee pass should overlap
the previous by about an inch. This prevents water lines and missed spots.
Tilt the Squeegee: Always tilt the leading edge
in the direction you’re moving. This channels water away and prevents
streaks.
Pressure: Use just enough pressure for the blade
to contact the glass—let the tool do the work.
Re-wet if Needed: If you miss a spot or see
streaks, simply re-wet and squeegee again.
