Can take one Guinness world record, which is obviously a massive achievement,

but to take another nine that says something, you're not going away and guess what?

I'm Terry Turbo Burrows, the fastest window cleaner in the world.

When I found out there was a world record,

I had to work out the maths, the movements, the training it's gonna need.

When I first started out, my uncle Alfie taught me how to use the squeegee and applicator

and they would start wetting up with the right end with the applicator

and then switch it over and scrooge it off.

Terry had a talent and he wondered where it might take him.

I come down and make myself some coffees, probably about three or four.

I got myself a window and fixed it on the back of the garden shed and I was practicing the way.

And what was hilarious about all this was our neighbor mowing the lawn and be looking at me thinking,

why is he cleaning that window over and over again?

But the window don't go through anywhere.

Terry entered his first competition aged 40.

I remember my first major competition was in France.

It was like an arena for the window cleaning competition.

I was absolutely bowled over, and then all of a sudden, this person comes up to me; they're carrying the union jack for me.

I thought, oh my God, this is like the Olympics.

You've got five moves per window and wipe the seal clean and you gotta keep all that together just in those few seconds.

Terry took home the trophy and the next one and the next one.

Well, actually he won the next 15 competitions he entered and he's not giving up any time soon.

What you do is you start from the top here, go down like this and all the time your legs moved over into position.

You've got to be tunnel visioned, which I have been and not swayed one iota.

I plan to go out of the world as the fastest window cleaner on the planet.

So if any aliens are up there, um, that'll be cool.

Please let me dip you in my bucket of love.

I wonder if you know it's me way up in the sky or the fellas on the...
