Why most people fail

They copy techniques without understanding why they work. Understanding vs copying. That is the difference.

Apply. Agitate. Remove.

Think about washing a baked-on pot. You soak it, scrub it loose, wash it away. Window cleaning works the same way. If the dirt is not fully dissolved, the remaining dirt still stuck will be transported over the glass, leaving smudges or smears.

Once you understand this, every technique clicks into place.

The Window Cleaning Manifesto

8 modules. Video + Audio + Text

Before you pick up a squeegee, you need to understand why windows streak. The techniques have not changed since I started in 1999. The tools I started with are still the best ones available. What changed was how I understood them. Once you understand the "why," every technique becomes obvious.

  • The only 5 tools you actually need ($35 to $60, skip the expensive gadgets)
  • Soap-to-water ratio and how it creates the glide that makes everything work
  • The agitation principle: why scrubbing matters more than the solution you use
More detailsLess
  • Start detail: the 10-second setup most beginners skip
  • The 3 fundamental squeegee turns I use and teach
  • Edge finishing that makes amateur work look professional
  • Think about washing a dirty pot in your kitchen sink. Some pots only need a rinse. Others? The dirt is baked on. You need to soak, scrub, then wash. Window cleaning works the same way: Apply. Agitate. Remove.

AR Window Cleaning Training Tool

Augmented Reality

Stop guessing. Stop rewatching videos. Watching someone clean a window is completely different from training your own hands to do it. The AR tool puts the squeegee path right on your real window so your hands learn the correct movement through repetition, not memory.

  • Side-to-side turn: your go-to for horizontal strokes and corner-to-corner pulls on residential windows
  • Top-to-bottom turn: essential for tall windows and extension pole work, where control prevents water lines
  • Turn with a twist (J turn): the smooth controlled arc that stops water pooling at the edges of large panes
More detailsLess
  • Works on iPhone/iPad (iOS 13+) and Android (ARCore 1.9+)
  • No headset or special equipment needed, just your phone
  • Every window you will ever clean uses a combination of these three turns. Master them, and you can handle any window situation with confidence. That is why this step exists before the Mastery Course.

How it works

  1. 1.Open the app on your phone or tablet
  2. 2.Point at any window or glass surface
  3. 3.Follow the 3D guide overlaid on the real glass

The Mastery Course

Video + Text + Audio

Stop piecing together random YouTube videos. This is the complete A-to-Z roadmap. Real-world experience since 1999, structured into 9 lessons that take you from getting ready to a streak-free finish. Available as video, text, and audio so you can learn at home, in the van, or on your lunch break.

  • Before you start: safety, ergonomics, chemicals, getting the windows ready and the tool list
  • The core: your tools and rubber care, soap water, the squeegee turns (cutting in, side to side, top to bottom, the J turn) and detailing
  • Two versions: Quick Start (The Skill, $69): the whole course in one video. Full Course (The Standard, $199): every lesson on its own, plus certification
More detailsLess
  • The extras: the extension pole for high windows, glass types, removing stains and an intro to the water fed pole
  • This is not theory from a classroom. Every technique in this course comes from jobs I have done this week. Lifetime access means you can revisit any module whenever you need it.

Step 04TrackingOngoing

The Clear View Creator

Journal + Photos + Dashboard

Without documentation, transformation feels invisible. You improved but you cannot see the evidence. The Clear View Creator captures your journey so you have proof of how far you have come. Not just skill-tracking. This is personal.

  • Before/after photo gallery with comparison sliders to see your improvement over time
  • Reflection journal with guided prompts that help you recognise patterns in your learning
  • Milestone tracker: first streak-free window, first second-story job, first difficult window conquered
More detailsLess
  • "Unclear View" processing tool for mental blocks like fear of heights, frustration, and doubt
  • Private WhatsApp community with fellow Clear View Creators worldwide
  • My journey since 1999, as audio: the honest version of how I built this from nothing
  • Progress dashboard with consistency metrics and skill improvement graphs
  • The Standard adds: Quarterly quality reports, team tracking, client-ready proof, manager reporting.

Documentation is not vanity. It is proof. The before and after effect is not in the glass alone. It is in you.

AMA with Justin

Video Call

After Steps 1-4, you have the system. But you also have specific questions no video can answer. The weird corner window. The fear of heights. Whether to go full-time. How to price your first commercial job. I was cleaning windows yesterday. I will clean windows tomorrow. Bring your toughest questions.

  • Book a time that works for you, one-on-one video call with screen sharing
  • Written summary of everything we discussed sent within 24 hours
  • The Standard ($199): one session included. The Skill ($69): add-on at $99/session
More detailsLess
  • Extend to 45 or 60 minutes if you need more time
  • Technical questions: specific window types, tricky situations, equipment decisions
  • Business questions: pricing, hiring, marketing, scaling from solo to team

You're not getting advice from someone who used to clean windows. You're getting it from someone who never stopped.

Common questions.

How long does it take?

About 6-8 hours total. Most beginners are job-ready within a week. Business teams are solo-ready in 4 days.

Do I need equipment to start?

No. Step 1 is educational. When you are ready, $35 to $60 gets you started: professional squeegee ($15-30), T-bar applicator with microfibre cover, 100% cotton towelling rags, soap, and a bucket.

How is this different from YouTube?

YouTube shows techniques. This teaches the science behind them. Understanding vs copying. That is the difference. Plus AR lets your hands learn the movement before you touch glass.

Can I train employees with this?

Yes. The Standard ($199 per person) includes manager reporting, certification and the full Mastery Course. Solo-ready in about 4 days.

Is certification included?

The Standard ($199) includes professional certification after completing the full Mastery Course. ISSA CIMS and GBAC STAR compatible.

What if it does not work for me?

30-day results guarantee. Complete the training, practise with AR, apply the technique. Full refund if you still do not get streak-free results.

Is the Manifesto really free?

Yes. No credit card, no strings. Step 1 is free because I believe in earning trust by delivering value upfront. Experience the teaching approach before investing anything.

What devices work with the AR tool?

Most modern phones and tablets. iPhone/iPad with iOS 13+ and Android with ARCore 1.9+ (most devices from 2018 onward). No headset or special equipment needed.

About me

I have been cleaning windows professionally since 1999. Melbourne to Vienna. From soaring skyscrapers to cozy family homes. My Vienna window cleaning business: 47 five-star Google reviews. 95% repeat-client rate. Booked 12 months in advance. I still clean windows in Vienna.

I am not teaching from memory. I am teaching from this morning's job site.

I am dyslexic. Physical skills were always my strength. That is why this system is visual, physical, and hands-on.

“You can't blend in if you were born to shine.”

Master the skill first. The business follows.

Start with one window. See who you become.
