That video is how not to WFP.

Well that was the most frustrating you tube clip I have ever watched.  The amount of water used in the clip was a scandal, he must have half emptied the reservoir for that area on a couple of panes of glass.
And did you see the amount of water on the road before he was even half way through?

hi guys every video on youtube iv seen has people rinsing with brush off, i want to see how its done with the brush on the glass as it must be quicker.
And sooner or later you will need to keep the brush on the glass so i just want to get it right.

You make it look so easy 

[peekeclean]

IF thats it im putting way to much effort in my windows, it did not look like you rinsed at all.
And you get good results like that allday peter??
if i could get the hang of it and still get a good finish i would only be out half the time.
How much dose the brush cost you use with out the auto bit?

cheers peter

I was expecting the other video, where you clean the windows really quick.

Why are you cleaning at this pace in this video? Is that your normal everyday pace for cleaning windows?

this one from gardiners is much clearer  s152.photobucket.com/albums/s174/Gardiner_Pole_Systems/?action=view&current=1ad08ff6.flv

ah sorry i just notice, you want the brush on, that might be a hard one to find

[geefree]

The video link i posted was the first one i found...

peter, your video link is good and makes it look easy.

but i am a bit worried that the top frame is hardly being touched, hence dirty water may rub down the glass.

it may be me being too scared to risk , but i scrub and rinse my top frames with vigour.. as i believe if there is going to be any dirt , thats where it will run from....

just my opinion.

Like all skills it's down to personal preference.  Some people can give a quick splash and the job's done perfectly, others give huge attention to detail and still fail.

The only real answer is practice till you find the technique that suits you.

Ionics training course tells you to rinse down the glass with sideways strokes in a shallow zig-zag with the brush 'on', but they say it only works with their 'special' brushes.

I tend to rinse 'off' wherever possible, and tilt the brush if holding it off is impractical, but I do have one area of houses where the price is far too low - so I just give them a quick 'up and down' and then side to side rinse with the brush on - they come up perfect every time :

I made a short clip today on a camcorder, just working out how to upload it compress, I am not as quick as some rinsing on but the results are spotfree

Try encoding it in Divx to reduce the size of it. Can't you upload it to Youtube?

Rinse like a destroyer avoiding a torpeedo.

[Neil Williams]

Can't wate for the vid because I have never trusted the rinse with brush on technique. The nearest I get is with really high windows where I angle the brush so just the edge has contact.

[windowwashers]

Me thinks I need to get some video software,

Alternatively buy it from Ionics themselves.

 WW. too late for me last night so just had a look. Looks good technique, but the guy doing the cleaning....tell him not to put so must pressure on the brush, I am sure he made that porchway move

and for all of you who had all those beers..........it was probably moving all the time!!!! Happy weekend to all

When you mention software, what do you mean, software for encoding the video to a smaller format, or software to create captions and that sort of stuff?

Windows Movie Maker could do for some simple editing.

to compress the video and for editing a little maybe,
The one I have at the mo takes the vid off the cam but only in small resolution which than looks rubbish when you watch it.

[mark dew]

That vid wasn't bad. It's good you're doing this. These vids are worth pages of words and makes it much easier for people to comprehend.

When i get a half decent cam i would also do this and try to get clear, before and after shots of the windows.
Doing this with a 1st clean would be good. Also mentioning the flow rate used would be helpful with 'rinsing on' posts. And what brush/jets used would also be a good info.

Peter fogwill and alex have done this before but not any newbies (to wfp) like the majority of us.

I was watching the American guy, he didn't wash the top frame but then rinsed it, And when he is rinsing the top of the right pane, the water is splashing onto the left pane that he just rinsed.
It is for this reason that I would wash them both before rinsing.

I also wash the whole side of a conservatory before rinsing, Each to his own technique, as has been said previously.

ian,

well done mate looks good


just need to get good on zig zag

I tend to rinse each pane as I go, I feel that by doing this I am keeping the momentum of the water going down the glass and helping to wash all the dirt off. Not sure if this makes sense? but I know what I mean!!
