its great in the aspect that your safe stood on the ground, thats the main point for me

it can be a pain when you have cleaned a house for 5 years WFP and you still get little faults

when your trad, you can stand back and see you have done a good job, with WFP you just leave a wet window

was seeing posts saying how great the windows came up and how customers loved it and now im seeing bad comments about it.

starting to put me off.

i know trad only guys slag it off but starting to see wfp guys pick loads of faults with it.

was hoping it would make me even quicker and of course safer

the only time i find fault with it is if a customer
complains only happened twice in nearly three years.

i would say im reasonably happy with it :)

dont worry mate as long as you take your time on first cleans and rinse really well things will be ok you will get the odd problem and complaint but things will work out the worst thing is stubborn bird muck its a bugger to shift but you will get there

as the poster above has said take your time if your
doing frames give them a real good going over trying
to avoid vents plenty of rinsing,it will seem slow and hard work at first.
but by the time you got five or six cleans down the line
you will be amazed how quick you are and how much less
water you are using and still doing an excellent job.

 I wouldn`t say there were loads saying wfp is no good. A few said they reverted to tradding a lot of their round. I bet they are a smallish percent.
  How many more say it`s the best move they have made?

Martin you probably seen that i'm one that has gone back to trad for most of my round, its not because i dont like it, its because im quicker on my round trad thats all. WFP is a great piece of kit im sure you will enjoy using it. Some custys will need educating though, some old lady called me today for a price, nowhere near my normal route so i went off to price. 3 bed detached with a connie - £12, how much she says, i went on to explain the benefits of wfp as it was leaded and she said "i dont want that water pole thing, the last bloke used that" - so i said my goodbyes. Like you say its like marmite. Good luck anyway mate

I love it ....... but i've always said it's crap!
Once you realise that perfection is near impossible you kinda settle into it after a while. Wait till you do a first clean - admire the shine and the whiter than white frames then turn up in the evening to collect your money - you check the windows whilst you are waiting for them to come to the door and give yourself a heart attack 'cos they look so bloody aweful!
