Now to the serious WC Question of the Day!

Whats the best Hard or Soft Squeegee rubber?

Well, apart from personal preference, there are a couple of factors to consider. Soft rubber is more flexible and therefore works better at colder temperatures when harder rubber can become very stiff and almost "bounce" on the glass.
Soft rubber will also adapt better to sight uneveness on glass surfaces.
That said, the reverse is also true, Hard rubber works best in warmer temperatures when soft rubber can become too flexible, and when you do not have the most delicate of touches, ie hands the size of a shovel, like me.

So be like rubber, flexible! Use the right rubber for the job, and maybe vary from summer to winter.

A couple of tips, Ettore Master Rubber is probably one of the softest compounds.
Here at WCW FaceLIft RazrBLADE RED Rubber sells extremely well and is a medium compound.

Rubber compounds are measured in shore hardness, for instance Unger SOFT rubber has a shore hardness of 53 +/- 2 Unger HARD rubber has a shore hardness of 60 +/- 2
