I know that this is probably a stupid question.
But o have a 14 inch liquidateor channel. I purchased a 14 inch fliq pad to go with it yesterday.
But there is something rong. What’s the problem do you know?

Hey pal! Have you measured that channel? Looks a bit small but hard to tell in picture that last pic though is making me think that channel is not 14. 
I think. The channel is 12 and the pad is 14.
What do you think?
Because the people that sold me the tool told me they don’t do 12 inch but obviously they do
It look like the R.M Williams logo if you know what that is lol
The channel and the pad appear to be different lengths .perhaps something got messed up when it was shipped to you?
I’ll probably return for the right size. I don’t know if I’ll be able to work with it the way it is.
Luke, I bought one of these once in your opinion is there a process for breaking them in other than just struggling with it till it becomes less stiff?
They do require some breaking in. I’d say after a few good weeks of solid use they loosen up a bit.
Fliq pads come in 10 14 18 only… you have a 12" channel.
PS - I’ve found that heating plastic tips with cooking torch and bending them straight with metal part of channel makes them work like a champ. Also buy Unger clips to keep rubber from pulling.
We only use Moerman and I personally only use fliqs.

Hello,
I guess this is as good a place as any to ask a noob question. Got my starter kit and I found out that you guys are wizards with the squeegees!!! I gave up on fanning and went for straight pulls, but the darn thing left a line in the middle of the glass every time. Any ideas?
Are you angling the squeegee when you pull? and in that last photo your rubber looks cut a little bit to an angle. Should be a straight cut. idk just the first few things i could think of

I don’t think I’m angling it when I pull, but that’s a new thought. I just used the rubber as it came, I’ll trim it and give it another go. Thanks for the quick tip!
I agree with Luke, those corners need to be perfect 90°. Horrible factory cut…
The lines in middle.
I bet you are leaning your squeegee this way \ when moving left to right, when it should be /. Leading edge always pointing forward, in the direction you’re going.
What do you mean? With bending them?
What dose that achieve? And how exactly do I do that?
Thanks
Maybe if we because I just did. Salon the day before. I did clean everything but still some hear
If it’s not slipping well, looks maybe you need a bit more soap to me. I find when I’m streaking it’s because my soap to water ratio is off.

Thanks @Luke and @TheWindowCleanse, trimming the rubber and changing my angle to not be level seems to have fixed the issue!
The next challenge is tempered glass, would we say it’s best to never run bronze wool or steal wool on it or is it more of a Scratch danger with a scraper?
Also I am trying the Morman soap and I find it a hassle to have to put the drops on the sleeve every so often, anyone had issues with adding it to the water? @Luke @Reanna do you still use mostly dawn or do you use Morman sometimes?
Thanks

That’s awesome! We are happy we could help! We are just using dawn . That moerman soap is great just easier to buy dawn at the store lol
For those on a budget, dollar stores have a travel size of dawn for $1.00 and it usually lasts awhile.
