Title: WFP problem windows
Post by: Pat Purcell on May 12, 2007, 01:44:11 pm

Ive seen a lot of photos of windows that came up well with WFP, I was just wondering if anyone has pictures of windows that did not come up good and what you thought the problem was and what you did about it

i dont have any pics, but my main problem is oxerdised frames. If you get a job and they are oxerdised then you have twice as hard a job and mostly poop results the first clean.

I have customer that complains to me every month about 1 of her windows.

I wash it 5 or 6 times but still turns out bad. Can't understand why???

To get a rough idea of how bad they can come up on problem windows, just go and spray your own windows with a hose pipe plugged into the mains very briefly.  They're not normally that bad though.

As biscute says normally oxidized frames or really old paint jobs.

Yep, oxidised frames "milking" is the biggest problem. Other than that its all pretty straightforward.

Blimey Clear that looks like scratched plastic  :(  what is it ? never seen that effect  before. Has it been stripped with gg4 etc ?
Is it oxidised paint ? Has it been through a fire sometime ?
