Title: EVER HEARD OF THIS??
Post by: Richard Neal on August 24, 2010, 08:31:04 pm
Got a new customer today who had her windows treated in 2007 by a firm who cleaned her windows with a chemical which stops dirt clinging to the glass and frames, she had them cleaned once last october and now me today and they werent that dirty!
she showed me the original bill it was £850 +vat, they were there for 4 hours.

I would say the house is a £12.50 every 4 weeks since 2007 would have cost her about £450.00

You could offer this type of service using a normal glass sealant, I use glass sealants in my car detailing business that last almost a year on cars that are washed regularly, which is great results.  Often branded as Nano tech type sealants. 
Stuff like this, much better than Rain X type stuff - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/carlack-glass-sealing-kit/prod_348.html
There's a vid at the bottom of the page to show it's effectiveness.
