I today have been cleaning windows on a house that i only do a few times a year, i also clean the frames the best i can to.The glass doesn't take long but the paint is flaking badly on the frames i do trad and some specks do cause the squeege to streak but thats not to much of a problem as im right up at the window.But it got me wondering would it cause problems with WFP as the specks of paint would get caught in the bristles.

I get this with wfp just takes longer to rinse, as you keep seeing the flakes on the glass just keep chasing them with water down the pane.
does'nt affect the brush I give it a shake and a flick afterwards

Well my brother fits doudle glazing but no good on this house it's old and they would look silly and it's probably listed.

Sell them some custom wood framed double glazing . Some times the timber can leach and make staines on the glass.

Specks of paint is the last thing I'd be worried about with wfp. When they get to that stage there is a whole other problem called oxidizing of the paint. I would do these windows top with wfp, bottoms trad. No matter what you do, you can never get them up right. If they have proper gaskets, no problem, but if the paint comes directly in contact with the glass (like most old painted frames), you can forget having a good finish.
