Title: Wet windows
Post by: jimlaffo on October 28, 2013, 04:46:54 pm

Currently doing trad but got my new WFP system ready to be fitted.
What I want to know is, is it easier to clean windows when they are wet with a WFP? Does it leave a good finish?
With trad, wet windows are pretty much a no go, especially if you can't use the squeegee.
I'm interested as I'm sick of these wet days, putting me further behind. I'm hoping the WFP with combat the rain and allow to work through it (unless of course it's too heavy).
Thanks

Yes. I mean when the windows are being rained on, in other words, working in the rain.
Didn't think it was such a daft question.

Yeah i would say its easier, but not by much lol.

If if been raining all day and when you are cleaning the glass and glass is getting wet, i tend to rinse less. I don't rinse that much nowadays as i have a high flow rate.

Just be carful of the first 5 mins of rain, i call it dirty rain. Seems to be higher TDS :)
