need more info,for realy dirty windows (first clean) , i put some gg3 in a bucket with pure water then give the widows and frames a good scrub , then go over with wfp, with plenty rinsing.

maybe i could dip my brush in the bucket?
if i wet the window and then dip my brush in the bucket with gg4 in?
then i can rinse off with pure water?

Yet to see a window that didn't come clean eventually......

Dipped the brush in soapy water a couple of times.

This helps but it takes chuffin ages to rinse all the soap off.

ive done that , but better to use seperate pole (i use a unger pole)
with either an applicator or brush on , dip into bucket and scrub several windows, i will often do the whole house , this gives it time to work in ,then go over with wfp,
only use gg3 or gg4 though , if you use fairy or other cleaning solutions you will be rinsing for ever ;)

yes I had the same issue.  Was scrubbing and scrubbing, and the stain did not come off.  Then I realised, it was on the Blo**dy inside  doh!!   ;D

or how about this, keep one in the vehicle ready for any stubborn marks, can attach to your existing poles, the aerosol can i am showing here to is refillable, so just ad some tfr or gg3 with water, and spray on the glass,

if they are really bad and first floor windows maybe its best to get up the ladders and give the windows/frames a good clean trad then wfp them on future maintenance cleans.obviously if 2nd floor and above gg3/4 on brush and scrub,scrub then wfp! ;D ;D ;D

that would be good for spraying tfr on to gutters and facias!
