seems to be in the windy bussiness that yu have to get into wfp to make the money and save some time for yourself to do wat you want a work and home mix should be applied to get the best out of your life as i tend to do both trad shops and bungs

Jackal its going well, havent lost any, and i wfp the whole lot, up and down, have done from day one of swapping to wfp. There were a few sceptics, but when i have been the second time they loved it and quite a few have said that they are really pleased with the results and they windows come up better, either wfp cleans better, of i was rubbish tradding them  ;D ;D

did you just turn up with wfp or tell them the last time you cleaned them that you were changing the way you work,and what did you say to the people who wernt convinced by it,im just looking at the best way to approach it for when i eventually swap over

I just turned up, i didnt bother with pre warning them, 1 had 2 calls from people that wernt in asking why there windows were wet, so i explained and they were fine, on houses were people were i knocked and explained to the about the new system, and pretty much everyone was fine, they could understand me not wanting to go up ladders and it being safer, but the sceptical ones wernt overly sceptical, they just couldnt see how the water would dry without leaving spots, so with those, along with everyone else, i told them to call me if they were not happy and i would come back and redo them, but no one called back, so they were happy.

I was really worried before i started that i would loose loads of work, and that i had spent alot of money for nothing, but after finishing the first cleans (which felt like it took forever) and doing 2nd cleans ect, my advice to anyone would be to go for it, and you will wonder why you didnt do it sooner. Take you time on the first cleans, even though it takes longer than doing them trad, and you wont have any problems.

If you need any help or advice you can email me, its in my profile.
