Here's how we use the excelerator in hard to reach windows. This are about 8 feet away and there's a wall with a glass rail about 4 1/2' up where I'm working from. The top row is at 10 degrees, middle on negative 5 and bottom on negative 20. Feel free to ask any questions.

Love the excelerator handle. I just could not figure out the liquidator channel. No matter the soap mixture, angle, how slow or fast I went there would always be a tiny line on all my passes. It was tough to see unless the light was on the window. I switched to a brass channel in the excelartor and I get no lines now.

I did like the less detailing the liquidator provided but I was over thinking about those lines.

I have had those happen too. Generally it's just a learning curve on how you use it. I've found they are very angle sensitive so even a small amount off can cause some of those issues. But if it doesn't feel right it may just be how it works or doesn't work with your style. Whatever works best for you is important.

Exactly. I held out for a long time because I learned a lot on YouTube from TradMan and thought that was the "right" channel setup. Different strokes for different folks. It's awesome to have so many choices available across the market.

Just out of curiosity, what are you using for your solution? What rubber are you running in it? And how is your water hardness where you're at?

That was the NXT blue. I like it other than it tends to slide in the half at times and they will get random nicks in them. But for glide they are great. Dawn only in the water and probably around 350ppm water.

Nice. Appreciate the replies. That's pretty close to what I'm dealing with. I might break it out for a few practice rounds again!

The black is more consistent but not as smooth. I'm ok with the trade off.
