Do many of you wfp guys rinse with the brush on the glass? as opposed to holding the brush away from the glass.
I reckon you'd get a better rinse with the brush on the glass and it would be much easier on the arms etc.

I don't think that quality wise it makes a jot of difference, but at 60 ft rinsing off the glass would be a tad hard on the arms

I always rinse on the glass the only time I rinse of the glass is if I my brush picks up cob webs or dirt off the frames.

just habbit more than anything - we rinse off glass at norm height and on glass at height of course.

personally feel it doesnt make too much difference

I always imagine my brush is too dirty and full of contamination from cleaning sills to risk rinsing brush on especially if the window has a top and bottom pane or the like.

Hi Combat, the last thing on the glass should be pure water, with OTT jets this is how I did it at 88ft.

If the water is not sheeting nicely I often rinse in an "S" pattern with the brush (mono) on the glass.
I feel it does a better job than trusting beading water to rinse cleanly.

You got it in one Pure, but its a glass problem the manuf are messing/tinkering about with it, if they left it as it comes from the furnace we would have no problems- at all.

Hi Jeff
Is there anything we can use to pretreat these windows to make cleaning them quicker and easier afterwards?
Thanks

Yes but you aint going to like this, you need to currently make the glass re-sheet by undoing the dammage caused by the suppliers/installers(- which is forever) and use Nano technology to hand apply two coatings to make the glass phillic again.Pilks call it "self cleaning" which it aint, a better expression would be "low maintainance"
Why should we have to be the answer when its the suppliers that are messing about with it. One day people may demmand" Sheeting glass". and we can go back to be window cleaners, but with poles instead of dangerous ladders, its going to take a sea change from the population or pressure from us.

I also do a little glass restoration, and have found that beading glass sheets nicely after polishing with cerium oxide and other componds I use.
I am fairly sure that some of the acid based waterspot remover products will also make the glass hydrophyllic.

Yep cerium is great but dont last both coats needs a curing time and a second hand application of the nanophase  type product (there are others) to seal the cerium, no application when the humidty is high, lots of problems after application thats why I suggest its not there yet !
