Title: BIG thank you to the boys at vision!
Post by: Clever Forum Name on June 12, 2015, 01:47:23 pm
I have only been wfp for 5 years and never really been quick or had any confidence in what i was doing.

My technique was rubbish and i had no skill.

Vision has given me the confidence that comes natural to  others posters on here.

So just a quick thank you guys :)

Looks suspiciously like a wind up to me.

Not at all Dave.

I trained up a new chap and he has taken like a duck to water with the wfp system. Regardless of vision.

I have always been slow and too OCD about stuff.

A GOOD jump in earnings and days are shorter.

For such a small price to pay i am happy to pay it out.

If it's just a placebo effect then sign me up for a 30 year supply.

Terry Burrows; The Number 23 ...

What a coincidence - carry on like this and the Vision boys might get asked to pay for advertising on this site!

That's the saddest thing I have ever read. Sums up the forum really.

23 are you drinking the stuff I also use it but all I get is a slight improvement in my day to day job. Maybe I should take a swig before breakfast as I does have not effect on my attitude.

For me its the ability to wash a window then walk away from it. I would also go back, check, rinse again, check. Check for dribble marks etc. Its like using a safety blanket i guess for me.

I have well priced work and compact work BUT that is useless if you have no confidence in what your doing.

I have also gone back to a sill brush.

I thought you were a massive fan of the new Supreme soft hybrid.

Does 23 refer to the number of brushes you have in your van?

Haha. Number 23 is a film related to my name.

Sad fact is I have more than 23 brushes. YAY.

I have gone back to sill brush as i have adapted it and modified it. Should be able to perfect it this weekend :)

What put you off the Supreme brush Number 23?

I do a lot of houses on new build estates. The supreme just wasn't scrubbing enough. Did 8 first cleans and 5 call backs. Brush marks in the dirt.

It was only Georgian windows I wasn't happy with.

Medium/soft is better suited for me on Georgian windows.Soft is just too soft I felt. Put the sill on and ain't taken it off yet.

I believe Alex is bringing out some new sill brushes (no idea when though).

I stopped using soft flocked brushes a couple of years ago.
Never found them any good.
And believe it or not you can run a window cleaning round, cleaning all types of windows with just one type of brush.
For me it's the sill brush, just wish they lasted longer.

Using a soft brush on leaded windows is better than a medium mixed. Less chance of damage. That's just one example of where I couldn't use one brush.

Yes, sill brushes - good beginners brush  ;D

Have you thought of trying Vision? Apparently it cuts through dirt and you simply walk away knowing it's done the job.

I just adapt my technique.

I have tried less pressure and going side to side.

Just find it quicker and easier to swap brushes.

Anyways this thread is about Vision and how amazing it is and life changing.

Bit early to be drinking. To be honest if you think Vision has given you technique and skill you are a bit of a Benny.

Just a further thought. When you were at the West Bay thing parked next to the Vision "boffins" showing off their in line adding thing did you get on well?

It was a very good show. Only one CIU poster had the balls to introduce themselves.

Mark M offered a spot for my van. As I wasn't paying I was outside. I was also next to pure freedom van? Oh yeah I have shares in pure freedom.

I also renamed my company to promote vision. You do know that don't ya.

It was the most popular stand at the show. I wasn't even selling anything in. Or was I ?

Oh and not my words.

Mark M's and several suppliers.

At one point Jamie counted 18 people around the van listening. Not bad for someone with no skill.

I think the van did the talking anyway.

Unbelievable, how many times have I said that this is the type of customer Vision is designed to snare and you have disagreed
with me every time.
At last we agree on something as far as Vision is concerned.

I said this before when Vision hit the forum pages in the first round. I was amazed just how many professional wfp'ers were actually doing a substandard job to begin with!! The amount of "it helps with spotting" etc was staggering!! :o
