I've been trad for nearly 10 years and going wfp next week or so.

However, I'll still squeegee my shops.

1: It's a more reliable result : You can see straight away if you've done a good job.
2: I'd rather not leave water everywhere in the high street : It looks untidy.
3: It's not worth moving the van every few yards down the road, and parking on pavements isn't good.
4: It's quicker on single panes to squeegee.
5: I don't want to lay hoses around the public.
6: It looks better I think. I sometimes get wolf-whistles, as do most manual workers, but I don't think they'll do it when I'm brushing away. It doesn't look skillful. :(
6: I like squeegeing!

7: Actually, I think that's enough reasons. ;D

That's me wolf-whistling at you, you daft git.

I love it when I see you mincing around town with your bright yellow bucket.

I thought you knew!

Trad. It only takes a few minutes and wfp is not that quick at removing spit, sick and kebab

wfp  outside

inside obviously trad "shame realy would like wfp"

i dont care what they want i ll do wfp even if i lose them, only thing i do notice is that over the years youll get a build up of traffic film, so you need to use a degeaser now and then .

but today i just ordered my self the hot water add on package that we have from webassco as they say it will cut through grease a bit more easily we shall see,

my end year treat to myself

Outsides mostly WFP, but I'm in town at 6am in the morning, I park on pavements, on double yellows, the town is empty...I have carte blanche ;)

If I cleaned shops in the middle of the day like Roger, many of those I now do WFP I'd have to do trad, and for similar reasons as Roger, ie, don't want hoses trailing all over the place, can't park where I want to and so on.

I'm far quicker with WFP than trad on many of the shops, and I find WFP great for getting the spit that dirty sods have 'gobbed' onto windows too!
Sick and kebab is different..yuck!

Well I never thought I would see the day when I would read a post saying you are crossing the line over to the WFP brigade?

I am lost for words?

Happy days lol
