Title: WFP on self cleaning glass?
Post by: Tim Rose on October 16, 2007, 01:36:27 pm

Is it possible to use a wfp brush on that self cleaning glas does anyone know I have a customer who has a conservatory with it and says it is self cleaning glass but it doesn't seem to stay clean can I use a brush ok on it without hurting it?
Thanks.

Wet applicator yes, brush no. Its got a film that scratches. Get them to put it in writing that they absolve you of any blame etc.

Jeff, surely the film can't be that feeble it scratches with something as gentle as a WFP brush???
I know some brushes vary in the stiffness of their bristles, but I use the Bentley brush as  supplied by gardiners, and I'd say that one has pretty soft bristles...

Can't be very robust considering this self cleaning glass is meant for exterior windows!

I do 1 WFP that I know of, but how many others I don't know about ?
I don't think it's easy  to tell if it is or isn't :-\

i dont think self cleaning glass comes up to good, if you look closely it seems to attract minute bits that just wont go.
