swap over a few weeks back and im finding the cleaning bit easy but its the final dry result im worried about and finding all the loading and setting up is slowing me down. think if you are quick off a ladder then it could be quicker in some situations.
now the suns out the windows are drying to quick and my confidence in the whole method is going fast.
will it get easier after the first clean?
any help be great.

Gets better and better but first cleans are generally crap even if you go round twice. Most customers don't seem to notice but you will if you look for it. It's crap crap crap. I'm on my fourth year of crapness now. Touch wood I've only ever had one complaint. God knows how I've got away with it. Work keeps pouring in.
If you want to see real rubbish cleaning wait 'till your first commercial job. Now we are talking bad!

From my,limited admittedly,experience with wfp some windows come up sparkling and others don't seem to respond that well to it.There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.Similar to what Dave said,I've been back to a place later in the day when the windows have dried and cringed.The worst areas seem to the top corners where white dot marks are quite common it seems.I haven't had one complaint in a year though so it's obviously acceptable.Do your best to doubly ensure the top of the frame is clean and make sure you rinse the top of the glass especially thoroughly.It took me a good few months to get my technique right and still picking up things a year later.

if you want to know what the results are like in the sun, clean your own windows and look at the results that what i did so i found out the best way to do it, if your happy with the results on your house then u should be ok

i kept doing my own windows alot to start with and at first you have to pay more attention to detail always making sure there are no drips rinning down from the top of the frame but after a few cleans the windows and frames seem to come up perfect with even less attention to the point you can be a bit casual about it .
but on sunny days make sure you give the windows that ave had the sun on all day your full attenetion because they tend to dry to quick and can sometimes be arkward to achieve perfect results. this however is with cold water hoping now i have hot it wont be the case . good luck
