Call me a rogue trader, but I generally don't bother cleaning these off, unless they're on a kitchen window or a living room window.

I never see them when I approach the glass, it's only when they get wet they show (I think).

I've not had any complaints regarding this!

They're not that bad to get off, easier than dried on bird doings.  I know trad they'd be more of a pain though.  I think they'd only show up in the wet as well, all though if the sun was shining right through I'm not sure about that.

Sod the snails, what about the silky trails that the dam caterpillers leave, they are a nightmare and do show up from the inside.

I've one account; a good sized one; where once a year hundreds of caterpillers  leave the vegitation and climb up the walls and windows of this big sash-windowed house; and you're spot on; it's a nightmare.

You end up cleaning the same window four times to try and get all the silk trails off.

Almost 101% wrong. ::)

Trad it's easy, 2 second wipe with wet scrim.
Wfp it takes a while, and still leaves some behind.

WFP shows them up a treat and a few scrubs they are gone, the same effort as trad.

When I was trad I never saw them but with wfp see them all the time.
