wfp in direct sunlight is pants . been wfp 8 years and this week a lot of the windows look a right mess . cleaned my front windows every day this week {facing the sun } just to see how they dry . and i wouldnt pay me . water is zero, rinse like a loony but still crap nresults . but no complaints or cancellations from custys so im not that bothered as we dont get too many scorching weeks . so my advice to all you tradders that are happy is stay trad .and all you wfp guys who think it is better than trad you are kidding yourselves .

No problem here either and my water has been at 001 all week and I don't rinse any more than normal.

Edit: when I rinse I only rinse about 2 foot of the window at once, and I rinse as I complete each part of the window.

wfp in direct sunlight is pants

Nothing to do with the sunlight, that just highlights any issue. If your work is crap in sunlight it'll be crap in the shade, just not so easy to see if it is.



Sort out your R.O and D.I. setup.

you know what barrys like he s just trying to wind us all up!!he s talking crap!my waters been 003 ALL WEEK AND NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!! ;D ;D ;D

i do rinse a bit more off the glass especially at the bottom of windows.mind you most windows on my round this week have been pretty clean before ive started due to settled weather over the last month.

high flow,rinse off the glass and you shouldnt get any problems.i use pencil jets by the way.

Personally, have just found that you really need to swill loads and its fine. We had a problem with one window when the sun was on it and that was down to a lack of swilling.
I like it when the suns out because you can check they are perfect before you go :)
