Not a enuf rinsing and all the dirt is not off the glass,, To much pressure when rinsing and the water goes everywhere and can cause spotting 8)

Post by: dai on March 05, 2008, 08:11:34 pm: I watched a guy working yesterday with a full bore garden hose, and no Varistream or bypass.
He can get through 700 litres a day, but no rinsing was necessary. The water was just cascading down the glass. Dai

Post by: dave0123 on March 05, 2008, 08:37:28 pm: no i mean whats the proceses do you leave the brush on and slide from side 2 side going down the window?
Title: Re: rinsing
Post by: Peter Fogwill on March 05, 2008, 08:48:54 pm: Well what I do is just brush and rinse at the same time, the technique I use depends on the type of window. We discussed it here the other day. http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=51195.20
