Smetimes you do have to turn up the flow just to make sure you've rinsed, but on the whole no difference.
Although you can expect to feel like revealing your legs sometimes! :o

ive had windows ive cleaned that in the end i couldnt see them with the steam coming off the roof below
i just give it a little more of a rinse
-
so no probs with marking the glass with drying too fast then no
-
if the glass is warm and the sun is directly on them then i would sugest that you rinse a lot more than normal or they could dry spotty, i find it best to rinse and cool the glass first then clean as normal and then give a final rinse.

good point
can you crack the glass with the cold water on hot glass ???

i have never known this to happen but i might be wrong

on a hot day the heat radiated by the glass will heat the water on the surface of the glass - effectively what you have there is a hot wfp system!
I do worry a little sometimes myself when it is hot (it did get hot here once, 14th August 1974, I remember it), maybe its because the glass dries so quickly its hard to do a runner!
-
how do you mean a runner? youve lost me
-
run away before the customer notices all the spots on their windows!
-
lol is it really that late m.b.s that you didnt no what he ment about runner
-
WFP is better in the hot weather beacuse it dries quicker and its not so noticable to the customer that the windows are all wet.
Anyone who has cleaned trad on a hot day will know that its sometimes impossible to keep the glass wet enough to squeegee it
So WFP wins in my book.
