The white powder is more likely to be easier with wfp...as is most things

think that white powder is off a frame ,if i suddenly see a big white smear on the glass i straight away dont use that cloth again until its been washed back at home.

once found some white powder in a customers PX car ( I used to sell cars) rang him to tell him and he sent one of his lads around to collect it with a £100 for me for being diplomatic (used that word twice today) but had to split it with the valeter who had actually found it under the spare wheel.

I'm suprised its taken till now for you to find one. Milky frames if you are WFP (chalky if you are trad) are common.

the frames seem to be the culprit mate especially the aluminium ones a tip for you on your first cleans always do the frames trad as this is a free service i provide which i point out to them it looks professional you have done them and it will help you with wfp in the long run what back pack did you pick in the end what pole have you gone for
