so is there nothing u can do about it then ??? just one of them things?

2. Clean the glass only. There is a technique where you can successfully clean only the glass & get top results every time. ;) I've been doing this for years, it's a lot easier to show it than write it in text.

On hydrophobic where the water actually is drawn away from the top yes. On hydrophilic where the water stays in contact with the top frame, it keeps milking the top frame. Unless you got some miracle technique you will not get great results on those windows.

Yes, Not a miracle, but I've been doing it for 6 years Tim. Lots of my work is rural farm houses, stately homes etc. Most of which have the said offending type windows. ;)

Only if you follow the sheep James.

You'll not sell wfp cleaning frames on these types of windows. ;)

In a word, yes!

I've personally never promoted wfp on cleaning frames, get the glass mint & that's good enough for most. This works best for me as much of my work would be wfp unfriendly if I were to clean the frames! Never had a complaint about it & never had a request to clean them either. I'm bursting at the seems with work to the stage where I'm giving work away, all with ZERO advertising. ;)

I do what works best, not what others say. ;)

Yep agree do what`s best for you!

I don`t see the point in having sparkling clean glass and minging frames!

Please elaborate on what technique you use on those windows. :)

Yes I have Tim, I have done it on here before a few years back, in great detail.

To be honest, I can't be arsed. I could for the right person to help them but this place just seems full of wfp puppies who know it all just lately. Even members who "appear" experienced give advice that's laughable sometimes. It's no wonder it's so full of people having problems, they've been led like sheep by people who are just repeating something that's come from someone who hasn't a clue really.

As you can probably tell, I'm a bit baffled by some of the posts I've read on here lately ::)

My method works perfectly, NEVER had a complaint wfp in 6 years, first cleans take only a tad longer than a normal clean & are never a problem, no runs, no spots just gleaming glass every time ;)

For now I'm taking a step back, not getting involved with clueless advice & just letting the sheep be sheep. ;)

I'm sorry to hear that. If I came over that way I apologize, I just never seemed to have gotten oxidised windows up perfect.

I was genuinely interested in hearing your method.

Oh well.  :-\

I tend to find painted wooden windows very hit and miss.

Some come up perfect with no trouble at all and others leach milky dribbles down the panes for ages.

Like someone has already said you just have to hang around for a little while and rinse those nuisance panes thoroughly, avoiding the already well cleaned framework.

Sometimes though you just have to accept that the one little trickle that keep coming down from the pane just isn't going to stop. I rinse and rinse and rinse and rinse and just hope it dries to an acceptable standard. Then the next time you clean it should come up well providing you remember where that offending dribble spot is and just clean the glass in that window.

I've tried to find your post, but no luck. Really would be nice if you can send me an email what your technique is. Hope I'm not asking too much.

It was when I posted under a different name so it could be upto 3.5 years ago. I'll sort something out. ;)
