Try adding Rainex( not the one in the spray bottle) to you tank. It will work very well and might surprised many using other well known products. Try it Sean K and Guys lets have some feed back.

Slap there are a few fundamental problems with putting additives in your tank, one your limited with the amount you
can add because of spotting so that limits their effectiveness and two if you start adding the amounts needed to make even a small improvement in the cleaning power of pure then they become too expensive for the gains you get.
Do you honestly not think some of the bigger suppliers have not looked into this and if so why haven't they put one on
the market ?
Even Unger haven't went down this route and they have released some horrendous stuff for wfp in this last few years.

Here we go again ... ::)roll

I don't think so, when it comes to additive posts its just me and slap left all the rest have left or didn't you hear that. ;D

Yup they keep leaving ... revolving door syndrome. ;D

I add pure water to my water, and the finish, is amazing ;D
-
I've gained a number of customers from another WFPer directly as a result of them adding additives to their water. They were advertising it to their customers but it was apparently causing a lot of spotting and they didn't listen to their complaints. First time I did them with just pure water they were all happy again. As a result I'd be very wary of adding anything to my water other than viro-sol or something similar on a first clean followed up with a good rinse.

Out of curiosity.........
What were they adding?
-
Apparently there's some stuff called Vision that some use.
-
After all the threads about vision I must admit that I used vision for the first time today and I have to say it was definitely good
Windows looked cleaner, worked that bit faster....
Will have to start using my hearing now and see if that helps...

I just remove all the dissolved solids from my tap water & it seems to work a treat!! I recommend this to anyone using WFP. :)

And if you remove them down to a reading of zero parts per billion you'll do a better job! ::)roll

I've started adding L'oreal shampoo to my tank .......... 'cos I'm worth it!
Gives a lovely flounce apparently. ;)

I don't know. They were just told it would make their windows cleaner. I did wonder at first whether they were just not filtering their water properly. But then I reasoned if that were the case I don't think I could have cleaned then so easily first time as there would have been difficult to remove deposits on the glass from six months or so of cleaning with contaminated water. I live in a high TDS area (400 ppm out of the tap) So I think it probably was what they were putting in the water that was causing the problem.
When I first started WFP a number of my customers asked what I was putting in my water because it was making their windows sparkle. Their words not mine. So I don't know what can be gained by putting an additive in the water.

You want to try "Wash & Go"...... very fast stuff, record week material !!
-
Well I tried opening a few closed minds. When Vision came along every one went mad trying a new additive. Just shows we are only happy if it cost a lot.
-
Slap, did you try it? What happened?
-
As luck would have it I have a bottle in the garage - it stinks of isopropanol - might be alright with some scented Ecover though. :o
............................... also has a tds well over 200 ;D
-
I use big amounts of vision in my tank far more than the recommended amount,it doesn't effect my TDS levels

Slap there are a few who are only interested in promoting Vision so they have no interest in listening or hearing about other
additives or cheaper alternatives.
You have an even smaller few who for some reason want to experiment with additives and when asked don't seem to know why.
Then you have the majority who are happy and getting great results with pure alone so have no interest in finding a magic
potion.
That's it in a nutshell mate it nothing to do with open or closed minds.

I accidentally overdosed my tank on it and I had spotting everywhere...I haven't put any in for a couple of days and windows have been perfect.
-
i hate to use "just pure water" now! ;D ;D
ive got 2 dirty first cleans booked in at 9am.the windows and frames are getting a blast of virosol from my pressure sprayer then a good scrub and rinse with vision treated water.
yep vision is not necessary but i like the added shine it leaves so ill continue to use it.
it does raise tds slightly(mine usually reads 001) on TDS meter.not any higher than that though. ;D

So its not necessary you run the risk of spotting but you will use it anyway, any chance of a comparison picture Dazmond
one cleaned with pure alone and one cleaned with Vision ?
But be fair don't take the Vision picture on a sunny day and the pure on a dull day and make sure both windows have dried.
If you need me to point out any other reasons why you might think the windows look shinier let me know, we are all here to help. ;D

I just tweaked that one for you Sean. ;D

Strange you didn't say that about Dazmond, how many Vision posts have there been without him feeling the need to tell everybody how he loves the shine, are you not bored of that. ::)roll
-
Ive never known a poster like SeanK .
Desmond gives his view and seanK just posts instantly and negative .
Is your agenda SeanK to just stop Vision from trading .
We all know you hate anything than just PURE WATER , which a lot of persons understand can be improved on .
I just can't see why your so adamant that using a 20 pence a day product is so bad .
Just don't stress yourself about vision .
At times your just embarrasing yourself .
I don't want to criticise you , but you really are boring everyone .
The last few threads have been good and not Vision related .
That's what we want the forum to be .
Maybe create a website SeanK on your WFP technique and offer training and support .
?????
Sorry everyone I may of reacted here , but the bloke is just special .
Is he paid to post so much on this subject .
More to life than posting on Vision , whether it's great or bad for the user .
-
I suppose if you paid to advertise then he wouldn't be on your case so much and you'd probably be protected by admin?
Don't see a lot of negativity for the other sponsors. You could of course shut up too then he'd have nobody to argue with ;)
I can't believe you guys have managed to plug your product for so long whether it's good or bad makes no difference people are becoming bored with the same topic I would think.
Liquidators came and went (most agree they are crap) but yours seems to hang around. I suppose Alex did the same thing years ago but for some reason nobody seemed to mind - probably because he never stoops low enough to become involved in arguments maybe.
If I was one of your partners you'd be in head office Monday morning for a stern talking to. ;D

Oh dear .

Iso is the solvent in Rainex so it is easer to apply. Therefore easer to de-solve in water.
-
The plot thickens!!!!!! ;D

One day the truth will come out on Vision make a note of this thread and see how close Vision is to Rainex. I have found out what it is but will keep it quite because the chaps who sell it have tried and tested it and good luck to them. There is no ways they invented and made it. Its sold in bulk and bottled by them and a perfume added to mask its smell. Even if the chaps at Vision told what its was,no one would believe what it is.
P/SI have tried Rainex, it is more diluted and it works well and is dissolves in water better. I don`t think it will be cheaper.
This above thread is what really annoys me . Yes we have worked hard and have done well .
On my kids life's it's not a rebranded product - we would get prosecuted for that . We wouldn't be that stupid .
We have tweaked the product since the initial launch in December . I guess as we mix the several ingrediance up we are able to do this . If it was a re-labelled product then we obviously couldn't .
Never even used Rainex or been in my hands .
So Slapdash , please text me what you think Vision is , 07979 966 041
I'm intrigued
But do respect your post in terms confidentiality , apart from the totally incorrect point that we buy in bulk and rebrand it , that is just laughable .
Why is their no way we have invented it , if it isn't us 3 , Then who is it please ?
But to be honest it's now boring , the same old acquesations , same old rebranding of a product etc etc
Blah blah blah
Think I will leave all Vision threads and responses to Jonny . His more patient .
-
Kempy you should be loving this it must be really boosting sales. I have even thought about buying some to do some tests of my own:)
Your product is getting constant exposure and its free, enjoy.
-
True.
Ive just responded to a false claim that we have copied or rebranded a product . Which is just false .
-
Don`t get excited think of all the free exposure you have got from these threads.
-
Yes and you got a chance to rubbish the idea now everyone knows the truth and you can no doubt back that up if you have to. I remember years ago on my forum someone threatened to take me to court if I didn't take a post down. I refused and explained to them that they get a chance to put the record straight, give their side of the argument. Had the post disappears they wouldn't have got that chance, it worked with no more threats and the post stayed.
