Does pure water dry the same in the rain as it would in the dry?

it can also depends on what the tds of the rain water is and also you need to factor in the wind.

If it rains when I'm working, I often say "WTF"

Doesnt work though, it still rains...

Just offer a rain guarantee, if they not happy when it dries offer to pop back and do it again.  

The guys I know that do this get very few calls and it allows them to earn in all weathers....

Never had a call back in over 4 years of been wfp , worked in pouring rain all day no wind so rain was not affecting windows ,
The windows only became wet when i cleaned them , if their is a light wind and the rain is light to moderate and is hitting some windows i still continue working and have had no complaints at all . MIKE

i would say no , as pure water is mixing with rain water witch would have particals in it , so would not be as clean as doing it on a dry day but might not make a great diffrence depends how fussy a customer is  ;D

As pure hydro said, it depends on the tds of the rain. I have tested it on various occasions with a range from 7 - 24 so it would be fine..

in my experience it makes no difference.windows still come up good using wfp in the rain.the only time ive had problems is when its dry and windy,blowing dust onto droplets.

ive not been working today or yesterday as the weather has been too bad.heavy rain and windy i cant be bothered.luckily weather like this is not too frequent in manchester! ;) ;D ;D
