Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Xmas Tips

« Last post by Blackadder on November 15, 2025, 04:35:43 pm »

I always send Christmas cards as a thank you for continuous custom, that usually reminds them to give a Xmas tip if they’re inclined to. What I receive in tips far outweighs the costs of the Xmas cards I get printed up, I change the design of my cards every year but always something with my logo on them.

Software won't be a problem.....it's more the "legal" route I'm thinking of........they're only about £400 to buy so why is fitting a new one so costly?

They can be a nightmare but better to try and keep it in because it may not pass an MOT. Plenty of other things can begin to go wrong when removing it, mainly the software. It ends up going on a loop to try and find it and sometimes the immobiliser kicks in. I used to go a long drive once a week until I read about small metal discs that go into the diesel tank. Bought them for £40 for five and haven't had any issues since and that was years ago. Mike Brewer was advertising them, I thought it was a con but they worked for me.

Pure freedom have got a new reelmaster lite reel out. It might be worth a look. Its a little bit cheaper at £700+ including VAT and a lot lighter than the original.

Van's losing power every now and then.....it's going for a regeneration doing to it next....guy said if that doesn't cure it they can take it out and run without one.
Have read up and it 's illegal to do this but a much cheaper option.....anybody had their DPF removed and if so any problems.

I used to use this method until I got the tank system. All I do now is wet the SFG and then spray some hypo along and wait 10mins then go back and clean with cold water from the pole. This is the best and quickest method I have come to realise.

Being in Scotland you probably spray half the country without realising it. You’ll no doubt also ruin most of the clothes you’re wearing, get it in your hair, eyes and cover the owners garden.

If you’re now going to say you wear PPE to protect yourself it’s not going to be as quick as you’re implying.

Spraying with my wfp with jet nozzle from my PF trolly. Yes I have ruined many hats, caps and goggles but that's what I buy them for. The method suits me until something goes wrong I'll keep doing it.

You spray bleach through a PF pump?

Yes, paid extra for a chemical pump and always rinse with water when finished. I used to use degreaser but once I went on the Softwash course I began to use hypo. It leaves a better job and saves alot of time so use that now. I have regular customers that I spray their roofs with hypo every 2 years. I spray mine every year now and it still looks like new and it was replaced 15 years ago. I always get asked what I do to keep it looking new and get new customers .

Battery is brand new lithium , stays above 13v .

Connections are all good ..

Is the battery also 24V ?

No , the motor says 24v on it , battery is 12v. i did ask mionics about me using say an 18v battery to run it but they said it wouldnt be a good idea.

Also agree with Simon regarding snagging.
