Does anyone use wfp for regular shop work?
What puts me off the idea is the water being walked into the shops by customers and making their floors dirty. And until they dry, customers are looking through windows with droplets all over them.
I can't see it going down too well with my round of shop customers but I haven't been brave enough to give it a go yet.
Anyone with experience in shop customers reactions?

i find that sometimes its just easier to trad them, i do do a shop in town and its not that bad actually, but like i say sometimes its not worth the hassle and sometimes quicker trading

Looks like you answered your own question LWC except you where a Ltd company when you asked it lol
-
SSSHHH!! Thats for tax reasons you know! LWC exists twice!
-
lol, he copied my name
-
Liar!!! Your just trying to confuse the taxman!!!
-
Maybe I should change my name - I think he was here first!
I trad them at the minute and I am quick with a trad pole but it would be nice to up the price slightly and offer to include the frames.
-
Nope.
Trad them all, except upstairs on pubs.
Doesn't look good to leave puddles on shopping areas and wet windows that people can brush against and ruin the finish.
Also it's quicker to grab your bucket and walk to the next shop than put all the kit away, drive to next place (if you can park), get it all back out again...etc...

I trad them and always will do unless your talking massive flagship stores with huge big panes of glass,for your normal shops it`s far quicker to blade them.

Absolutely.

Trafic film does no agree with WFP and that`s a fact,i`ve tried WFPoling shops before and even done twice a week they still didn`t always come up good.Car fumes on glass and WFP don`t mix to well.

I wfp the lot, even the car showrooms. Just do them very early when no one is about.

You must live in a yob scratch free area with no shutters then.
Trad shops loads quicker, car showrooms different job totally

My humble opinion:
Do them trad, but learn to use an extension pole (not WFP)
On larger shop windows it will probably be faster, and the shop owner may not be best pleased about you leaving the glass wet.
It must be a first I am agreeing with squeaky clean

I wfp them , usually do the 7.00 until 9.00, It is a lot quicker and the customer is usually pleased there frames get a good clean as well.
Never had any complaints off my shops and never lost one due to using wfp.
If it is an individual shop and quite simple then i will trad it.
As for water being walked into the shop, what happens when it rains, also you are only using about 5 litres max on a shop which soon clears up, when i finish at 9.00 the ones i started first have almost dried so no problem with wet glass.
As for traffic fumes, yes you do get the odd shop which does not come up great, usually due to bad frames but you get to know which ones and you just trad them.
If in doubt explain to the shop if there is any doubt you will revert back after 6 cleans, this then gives them 6 weeks to decide if they like it or not.

WFP 7.8 litres a minute, stand back and spray after the initial scrub, just as quick, probably quicker.

Most of my shops are trad. However I do clean a couple of hairdressers shops with lots of openers and upvc frames. Using wfp on these is much, much quicker and does a better job in my opinion.
