« on: March 09, 2006, 12:10:39 am »
Saw this product from mr longarm the procurve. could you imagine this on a wfp trolley. you could use silicon rubber blades that dont drag on the glass as no soap is in the water.they could ad a type of vice versa style squeegie,instead of a brush.i think this could be possibile.do you think it could work. heres the movie of it.

I would like to inspect the edges once they were dry. No detailing there was there. DAI

I think you'll find Wfp was invented next!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Give 'em 2 or 3 years at the most before serious back strain.

I think it should be promoted here by the Chuckle brothers, just to pitch it right ;D

Seriously, quite a useful extra tool to carry ocassionally

I have one of these poles, they are available from the windowcleancentre.

They are useful for doing high shop windows.

its used by the same people who used to leave soap residue and leave  lines
on window glass,but if you were not one of these people and took pride in your work ,then you will not operate one of these "spot machines" you will operate a wfp machine ;D

All my windows were spotty when I started wfp.  Next time I cleaned I thought, no more spots!  Back third time, still spots.

But I already know why?  I was washing all that soap and dust off.  Now?  No spots at all! Windows are clean when I get there waiting for me ;D
I hardly believe it myself, no need to rinse, just quick wash & go.

You've got to be mad not to try it!  Sorry, but that's how it is.
I still use mop & squeegee in porchways, and inaccessible places.

I'll gladly be a happy fool then. ;D

I'm making more money now that some competitors have got wfp than i ever have. :)
It's benefitted me a treat being a "proper cleaner" as the customers call it.
I'm getting requested and recommended left right and centre.

I'm well pleased with my job at the moment.
Never had it so good! :D

Well Roger,

We'll leave the old fogies to you then as they don't like change, make sure you
keep giving them their special prices. We'll keep the customers that value their
window cleaners safety and earn more money  ;D ;D ;D

Old fogies!

We're talking shops and big houses. ;)
Whole new areas even....

I can now dump some of worse stuff, that's why I'm coining it.
Notice I was the only one not stressing about a wet week?

The only reason you make more money than me, is doing better bigger accounts.
You wouldn't beat me on my accounts with wfp, not a chance. ;)

Anyway, don't want to argue about this, it's not what the thread was about....

My god Tosh, you didn't listen to a word I said last time did you? ::)

1: You couldn't do the windows around the back above the wide roofs.

2: Most windows are in poor condition, you couldn't use wfp.

3: The sash windows are always open on the fronts.

4: That's enough reasons already why your kit is inferior to mine on these house and not quicker either.

5: Thankyou and goodnight. :-*


Oh yeah, and you owe me £50. ;)

Correct Gaz, but I was just responding that it's no good for the accounts Tosh mentioned.
Surely you can see that too by the points I made?

Roger,

I've just saved this thread to 'favorates', and I'm going to take a camera with me to photograph the fronts and rears of those houses.  I'm there next week.  The one I do at the end has the same pitched roof as yours; yet I can still get at their windows.

Also, you don't do the dormers or the top rear windows.

I've been asked to quote for one of them remember, but the customer said I was too expensive, and said his current window cleaner was cheaper.

That was you Rog! ;)
