At the end of the day we all just clean dirty windows  ;D

Thing is, I know this post is jovial (I think), But most of the WFP guys were actually trad cleaners for years, myself for 17 years before we started to work using WFP. It would therefore make sense, good common sense for any trad guy thinking of going WFP to listen to the experience of the guy's who have actually done the job both ways. Surely we can not all possibly be lying or wrong. Having done the job using both methods surely gives the trad turned WFP guy knowledge and experience the trad guy's just do not have.

I know you have Birdy and respect you for it, but even you must agree that you are in the minority on changeover.

I lost about £8-900 over 2 years, so it wasnt a massive loss. Some of these wfp with expensive van mounts, super delux trolleys and £3-400 poles have a lot more to lose. So i think they just carry on but would love to go back to trad, if they were offered all there money back. i think there is another guy on here who switched back to trad

'would love to go back to trad if they were offered their money back'???? Now that wins the prize for the funniest comment on this whole thread!  ;D
actually, you may have a point, I'm fed up with earning more money, working shorter hours, and business growing at a much faster rate than before!
