How about a little gaget that you place on every window that you clean and all you have to do is drive past the house press a button and sonic waves shake the dirt off the windows, add to this standing orders and you could do a weeks work in a morning and be paid in the afternoon. and spend the other week days tel canvassing for new bussiness.

But then you've got to put a new strip on for next month! ;D
You'd be changing strips more quickly than Man. Utd!

That film'd be expensive to buy and take time to cut to shape and put on each piece of glass. Then you've got to GO UP A LADDER(!) to remove each strip.

nooo,  none of that. removable windows!  get the punter to stack them up every 6 weeks, wash them on the floor. Just think, no ladders, no walking round the back,  no wfp, no water problems, no need for a van really - sorted

I can see this coming sooner rather than later. A powered trailer system.
Think about it, you pull up, unhitch and away you go. It would be great on estates where you have a lot of work. If these dissability scooter things have 15 miles range a system based on one of these would be ideal. If you had a tank say 200 ltrs, your pump and hose gear mounted on it. I'm not suggesting you ride on the thing, just walk in front of it like they did with those small milk floats.
I'm sure it would not be difficult to make a trailer that had it's own power source be it petrol or electric. You could have another tank on the van to refill it.
It's coming. Or it should be. come on Matt lets get our heads together, Dai
