- NXT-R squeegee rubber, is it any good? What does it cost? LETS TAKE A LOOK! A FULL REVIEW!!
UNGER GREEN CLIPS - windowcleaning...
WHAT POLZN BLADES THINKS...
Dear Trad-Man
I have a mixed opinion of the NXT rubber. On the one hand it is more durable than many of the other current brands available but that doesn’t interest me that much as you and I have a way of preserving rubbers in use anyway.
For me what is more important than durability is how well the rubber glides, contours to the glass & edges to the windows frames & seals. How well does the rubber overall perform? How good experience do I get with the rubber is much more important for me than how long the rubber lasts. Is it an enjoyable experience I am getting from using whatever rubber?
When you have a rubber that glides well in all weather conditions, especially in extreme heat that is a sign of a good performing rubber. Rubber is measured in a Shore and I have always preferred rubbers that are around the 50-52 Shore mark. Harder rubbers are around 55-60 Shore. Moerman soft rubber, my all time favourite is around 50 Shore. It contours and glides very well. It performs if you use the same methods as I do very well.
As rubber is a natural product, it can fluctuate in quality, or if it is stored incorrectly. You sometimes get bad batches but generally speaking Moerman soft rubber performs very well.
The higher the Shore the less supple and less contouring ability the rubber has but the more durable it should be. However, if that harder rubber requires more force to make it work & perform then in my experiences the rubber will still wear & tear down as quickly as softer rubber does that requires less force for it to work. So really a hard rubber wont last any longer than a soft rubber for me.
Generally speaking NXT rubber lasts longer than most other rubbers because of the different ingredients it has in it compared to regular black rubber. I do not know what other ingredients are added to this rubber. I was told it has more natural rubber in it compared to other rubbers that contain a lot of “fillers”. I think the “fillers” referred to are the chemicals that bind the rubber together. All very scientific.
The NXT rubber feels different in the hand. You can instantly tell this rubber is different in how it feels and behaves when you pick it up. But that is no interest to us who want to use it in their squeegee.
Another noticeable trait is that it squeaks a lot when using it. I can only put that down to the different ingredients it has in it compared to other rubbers. It has more friction than the average black Pulex, Moerman, Ettore, Unger rubber. You can easily fix that friction issue by adding more soap to generate more slip/glide but it will still squeak and it still wont glide as well as black Moerman rubber.
I have been using this rubber for around 4-5 months everyday and what I have found is that it does not glide as well as the Moerman black rubber does, especially in the heat. I found it doesn’t work as nice as black rubber on the pole. It can jump and skip over the glass especially when new. It often leaves a slight film haze behind in my 16-18 “ (longer) hand squeegee channels and quite often dried white lines/directional change marks are left behind on certain panes of glass. Jumping and skipping issues happen in hot weather also and the rubber can take a while for it to wear in. More noticeable when used on a pole than in the hand though.
I found I had many more issues with NXT rubber during the extreme high temperatures we have had over the last several weeks. I switched back to Moerman soft rubber just yesterday and I now have no issues at all using this rubber in the heat compared to what I had with NXT rubber. No skipping, no sheeting, better glide and control over the glass.
One good reason to like NXT rubber is that it can easily be threaded through Liquidator end clips but there is a negative with that which I will talk about later on.
I have used all branded rubbers and many unbranded rubbers over the years and there are plenty of rubbers I do not like. I would put NXT rubber in the middle category of rubber experiences. It’s not bad but it isn’t great to use either but I am a high performing window cleaner so I will find more issues with this rubber compared to the regular window cleaners. So unless you are an exceptionally skilled window cleaner using Liquidators & Excelerators, you need not worry too much what I have to say.
NXT rubber has that extra durability quality but the issues with the rubber sliding up and down the channel all the time, the lines and directional change marks it causes at times and the lack of glide and contouring doesn’t give it a tried and tested thumbs up from me.
PLEASE BE AWARE THE RUBBER FEATURED IN THE VIDEO HAS NOW GONE TO A SUBSCRIBER.
THANKS FOR WATCHING FOLKS!
TRAD-MAN 😎
I’ve used it on a pole job and I haven’t been very satisfied. At first I thought it was me not able to use them or the solution or something else but after watching the video I saw the same problem. I’m gonna use them till I run out of them (not as much as you TradMan 😂) I personally like Unger soft 👌🏻 thanks again for your videos 🙌🏻
Very welcome! Yeah it just doesn't have good enough glide over the glass does it. Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated.
Hello Jan from Denmark here if you put a lot of soap on the window it works fine no noises from the rubber😁
Unfortunately not, as you can see in the video there is plenty soap. Seems there is an issue with the rubber being consistent. Some experience an ok performance, others have a terrible experience. Not very good for us as professionals getting rubber that only performs some of the time.
Ettore, Unger and pulex are far more reliable
I’ve been using the blue rubber for a week now, I’ve not had no squeaking, no more than any other rubber .
Tak jest jak piszesz pod warunkiem, że przynajmniej 70% gumy przebiega po mokrej szybie.
This is as you write, provided that at least 70% of the rubber runs on the wet glass.
What squeegee have you got it in? Do you fan or straight pull?
What soap solution are you using?
@@TradMan Mi chodziło o to by pracować tak kanałem by guma szła całą długością tylko po mokrej szybie. Wtedy mydło nie ma znaczenia.
My point was to work through the channel so that the rubber would only go along the entire length of the wet glass. Then the soap doesn't matter.
Thank you for the insight to this new nxt -r rubber,was having a look at it last week,on the WCW site,you helped me save money once again lol.well done.
Very welcome, yeah stick with things like ettore, Unger etc 👍🏻
Personally find the unger soft excellent, really good for the cooler Irish climate & it is well priced into the bargain. Thats an excellent demo Peter, appreciate it mate. Though that rubber is bloody expensive, id want that to last a long time! Though the squeaking would put me off instantly!
Yeah unger make good rubber!
Thanks for watching!! 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻
hello Trad man, the NXT-R Rubber is incredible if it's in the right place. I work with Wagtail dogeaerd channels on Moerman handles (with 0 detailing) and a bit SALMIAK in the water. the rubber glides over the glass like no other. no pressure almost by itself. one side lasts about a week. I LOVE it. A realy epic product. how much do you want for the rubbers?
The rubber has gone sorry buddy, somebody fancied giving it a go and got it yesterday.
Thanks for tuning in
best rubber i have ever used in 40 years of window cleaning
Oh I have great results with it and would love to get my hands on some more.
Trad man couldn't put it better my self cleaned 1 house with it and straight back to Ettore which I've used for 38 years 👍
Yeah I switched back to ettore and it's been fine since, no arcs or solution left behind and the insane squeaking has gone now lol
I personally like razor red when I get a nice batch which can be hot or miss and pulex soft which is incredibly well priced compared to the other brands I can't use merman soft because I rip it to shreds in half a day being heavy handed for me pulex soft is a good mix of two things price and durability and was recommended to me by a certain famous CZcams window cleaner I also think the price of these new rubbers unger included for 18"is crazy pulex sell 36"rubber for a lot less cut it to your desired length thanks for the heads up in this as I was thinking about trying them
Happy to be of service buddy
I love the red rubber, but you’re spot on about it being hit and miss. I’d say one in three goes straight in the bin, but when I get a good one it lasts for ages and has great performance 👍🏻
Thanks 😊 for the review I just purchased 10 . I’ll make sure I soak them in water and soap before I use them to see if I get any better results before I throw them away if they end up sticking to the glass
Let me know how you get on buddy
Yes the blue rubber Squeak so what I did I soaked it in my mop bucket about for two seconds squeegeed off the glass and have noise reduction when I came up with you’ll have to submerge the channel in the bucket before applying . If the rubber is wet before useing the Squeaking this will go awayczcams.com/video/e_8Q6j-yKA8/video.html
Unfortunately that didn't happen for me, in the video you'll notice before I use the squeegee it's covered in water and soap so should of glided fine but as you heard it was awful. Moerman are aware of the issue and have been since before release, goodness knows why they gave this the green light to go out to the public
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER I just Wanted to share my experience I have Saturday afternoon I will use an about six pieces of glass
Thank you trad man for a superb review, couldn't ask for better.
Thanks pal! I'm glad you found it useful 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@TradMan just found out this afternoon that my local cleaning shop is stocking moreman squeegees and the full range of products, cannot believe it, absolutely shocked, and delighted, no moerman soap though 😐.
I've been a window cleaner for 25 years and I've got so much to share with everybody😁.
I find the Razor red rubber just the same as the blue one of Moerman that you have reviewed.
Very similar traits.
I haven't tried the ettrie mastersoft yet , do you think this is on a par with the Mormon soft or does it beat it , ? For me the moerman soft black is very hard to beat.
Ettore has a bit higher shore rating than moerman soft and pulex, so basically it's a little bit harder than moerman soft but it's softer than the latest moerman blue rubber and razor red
@@TradMan that's very helpful Peter thank you for that insight.
Happy to help!
Hi Trad man
Thanks for the review on the nxt-r
Very welcome, hope it's helped you 👍🏻
@@TradMan yes has thanks
Using tooth picks jammed in and broken off works.
Should we have to jam tooth picks in to our tools?
Where conventional clips don't work it's a work around.
@@macgyverbryan1377 No what I mean is we shouldn't have to do it in the first place
Let me know if that rubber is still available, I bought a few and just coming to the end of the life. Actually found it has performed quite well for me. Using it in Unger S Plus channels so far no probs, no lines etc! Cheers
It's gone I'm afraid, somebody got in there first that wanted to try the rubber, sorry dude
@@TradMan No probs
Glad to see your joining the shorts brigade brotha! I knew you’d break eventually.
Haha! A scary sight it was!
Hi there good vlog I would like to try those new blue rubbers many thanks Mark 👍👍☀️
Certainly give them a go and let me know what you think pal
What’s your thoughts on unger rubber? I’ve used them for 5 years doing about 15 houses a day five days a week and one strip easily lasts two weeks for me and glides really well , I flip it after one weeks use. It does leave detailing to be done but that doesn’t bother me much as I’m used to it
Yeah the green rubber is decent, it's just a shame it's a limited edition
I wonder how it would work with Sörbo Glide?
Which rubber gives the best slip for a moerman liquidator?
I use Ettore master soft rubber, but other rubbers that work are pulex, unger green, and original moerman black rubber.
Some folks like to use razor red rubber as it has good durability but for me it lacks glide in liquidators
@@TradMan cheers mate 👍
@@angliscsaxon1288 very welcome
Would Ettore soft rubber fit an S-plus channel? I'm just about to order some new rubber and want to get out of my comfort zone (been using unger up til this point) and experiment with something else. Cheers in advance for any advice! Also, anyone tried the new tesco anti bacterial soap? The glide on it is an absolute dream (imo!)
Yeah you'll be fine with Ettore rubber bud.
@@TradMan champion, thanks bud. :) looking forward to giving it a spin!
You'll like ettore I'm sure!
@@TradMan thanks for your response Trad Man, you've been an absolute inspiration this last year, I honestly mean that. Cheers bud. Your a good man. Take it easy matey. :)
@@graemewillis1413 thanks kindly dude!!!
Hope you and your business are doing great!
Here in Germany are also some very satisfied. Haven't tried them yet.
Don’t know how much of a moerman fan you still are Pete, but I tried the nxt r blue rubber for the first time today and it was awful mate.
Yes moerman rubber doesn't seem to be very good
I've been using this rubber for 2 weeks. It's horrible. An indestructible piece of chewing gum. I use the liquidator and burn through the moerman soft rubber. I was hoping this would be the answer. This is not the answer
Thank you for your honest thoughts!
Try ettore master or pulex rubber also works 👍🏻
Hello sir
Parvez here from India
I love ur video
Ur video is inspiring me
Well done! you always tell the truth!🏆
Yeah I make sure my info is actuate as in know I'm potentially saving people from hassle and lost money buying products that are no use.
Thanks for watching 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Wagtail red rubber - no squeak, durable, hard, doesn't need a lot of soap & rated as the best by the most proficient cleaners. Moerman hype has been tamed by it's inability to perform in many areas of it's offerings.
Thanks Trad good review think that I will give the blue rubber a miss.
By all means give it a go and see but personally I found it to lack glide and the squeaky noise became a real headache.
Thank you for tuning in!
How's business for you?
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER yes business is really good thanks I'm picking up new customers nearly every day which means I can now lose the bad payers and messers lol.
@@gordons8843 fantastic news!!!
You must have had a bad batch. I have to say...mine doesn't squeak at all. Its the absolute best rubber I've ever used. Its like cleaning with a stick of butter.
The rubber seams to be inconsistent, as you heard polzn blades had the same experience and so have others. If a rubber is only good for some and bad for others it's not a rubber that is reliable and dependable.
Thanks for your feedback though, good to hear how others are getting on with products
@@TradMan i will say, I do use it with my entire brass chanel and it's held tight in my channel and maybe thats the difference. I'm a big fan BTW I just couldn't believe yours was making so much noise. I have completely opposite results than you did
@@themastersqueegee appreciate the kind comment 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah seems folks are getting different results all round, not good really, you need a rubber to work for most users like ettore, Unger and pulex are rubbers I know I and most others can buy and get good results. Shame really, was hoping moerman had cracked it.
That noise sounds trivial but it really does do your head on after a bit but I have it In a Liquidator channel and it performs well but I have quite a high soap solution and fan quite quick and press probably firmer that others so It does perform well for me but I don't think it performs as well as the black rubber and I don't have the control when it's on a pole yes I'm a poet I know it LOL.
😁🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@TradMan but send me all your rubber I will give it my brother to use LOL
Haha it's all gone now, been claimed by somebody who wants to give it a bash
@@TradMan that's a shame I love to wind my brother up It's worth buying judlst for that reason LOL
How do you spell Eteray?? No doubt I’ve spelt it wrong
Ettore
Je le trouve très aléatoire un coup il est bon et parfois quand je le remplace il laisse des traces
oaft think ill give that rubber a miss..ive only tried unger rubber never had any problems with it.
im sure i seen a vid of you recommending that rubber lol ?
Aye unger green rubber is fantastic
I used the Unger power liquid and got squeaking went back to fairy and was silent,
In the video I used fairy liquid 👍🏻
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER windows did look hot the water was gone fast, I stick by fairy it’s so much better than all the others out there, where did you get your double tool belt from the one on the back of your belt
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER you going to the Manchester cleaning show? I’ve just registered would be good to see you there, 14-15 October
Nah not going to shows this year I'm afraid, especially with what's going on with covid.
Hi m8 where did you get your van floor matting and is it waterproof?
Heya 😁
Yeah got it from Amazon, think it's called coin rubber mat or something like that lol. Yeah has been waterproof so far and had it in about a year, but then I don't have any leaks from my system as I put it together myself lol 🤣😉
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER great idea m8 as i know the spray waterproof coating companys do is way more expensive. Cheers al check it out👍
@@ml6cut463 great stuff pal
Wow, this is the first honest review of this new rubber. Here in the states everyone has been saying how good it is. Glad you shared these results, I’m looking forward to your review of Unger green rubber
Yeah I've heard that buddy, goodness knows why, maybe those that are promoting it are sales reps and get money from people buying it or something 🤷🏼♂️
I just know that when something is good I'll show it on camera, when it sucks I'll show it on camera. Either way it's a 100% honest video with video footage to back.
Thanks for tuning in buddy!!
Hope your keeping well and busy
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER The other rubber, I would like to know about is the blue wagtail. I see in most locations is sold out, is it worth buying?
@@craig6903 that one I've not tried buddy, if your gonna try it don't buy a big batch like I did with the moerman stuff 😂🤦♂️
I've tried the unger green rubber, and love it.
Hoping it will perform as well in the cooler months, as it does at the moment.
Much more durable than the soft rubbers I've tried.
It looks like your blood turned from blue to green?
Haha my skin went green with anger using this blue rubber! Hulk smash puny moerman rubber 🤣
Get the standard and pay yourself the .85 to cut it. It does like to talk, add a little more soap perhaps.
👉🏻👍🏻 bummer I like the color
Yeah I was hoping it be a good product to
Over here please and thank you!
Hi trad man I never did get my free unger mask when u were doing the free giveaway for the 1st 50 or so people my brother didn't recieve his either I did message unger with the email I recieved from u but as soon as I emailed them I got a noreply message back at least 10 times 👎
Yeah seems to have been a issue with the postal service, some got there masks some didn't. Unger were posting them directly from themselves out to folks like yourself, the postal services have been a nightmare if late, I tried to post something to the states and it was a headache
Erm at least it’s a nice colour 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s what got me😂. I feel like a fish that goes after a shiny lure.
Hey could I have some rubber I will pay for shipping
Sure email me at mrtradman@hotmail.com
Glass is literally "squeaky clean," lol.
🤣🤣
So... rubber giveaway? 😂🤣
Haha absolutely or use it to prop up a table?
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER well if you don’t want it I will have it 🤫😬😂
@@alexmunn36 I think if I was giving away dog poop for free I would still get people saying I'll take it 😂😂
Yeah it's first come first serve whoever wants this stuff, give me an email at mrtradman@hotmail.com and we can discuss shipping it
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER sent a email 👍🏼
They are awful. I take it out immediately
Yup
