i did my first house of the year with grease on the windows due cooking on the bbq.
it took 4 cleans to remove the grease as it kills the soap, i always tell the customer off when this happens as they don't realise what it does.
how does wfp deal with this ?

I always point out the the customer that the grease will not come off easy with water fed pole, and they can and will damage the windows if the bbq is near, they tend to move it as they don't realise , I also ask them to get some hot soaped water to clean it off so I can give a perfect finish I explain they will ruin my brushes which are not cheap

Never used it myself , but when i started , i was told WD40 is good for that sort of stuff ,obviously not with WFP though

im going to spray some wd40 on one of my windows tomorrow and see what it does with wfp, as far as I am aware to would water proof the area (to a degree) will find out though to see

ive got a house with the bbq next to conny you should see it its minging told the house holder she will have to remove it 3months down the line its still the same dosent seem to bother her ive a policey that if there is any thing like cellotape glue or any other stuff like dried cement spatter which has not been there before i wont touch it in case i damage glass so far no complaints its always gone the next time seems abit harsh but at th end of the day you could get a awkward custy accusing you of glass damage

Usually once its on there it never comes off completely but oven cleaner, Mr Muscle, Cillit Bang or similar is about the only thing that will go near it.

ubik 2000 in a pressure sprayer , the grease will fall off , i have used this method for years.
just dont leave it on the glass for too long , and rinse till the bubbles go

The ultimate would be a steam cleaner as it instantly vaporises anything greasy or oily. Whether or not it would be safe on the glass I don't know.
