With all your experience seank I would have thought you would have at least noticed by now that on many surfaces after using pure water it dries dull, some surfaces are more apparent than others.
Over the years, I had several customers comment ( not complain ) that the windows didn't have that zing they used to have, I couldn't agree the time understand it, but checking out these windows and frames closely showed that the upvc had definitely got a lustre finish and not glossy - the glass was great.
These frames I treated like a first clean with a g101 solution and pure water clean the frames dried and shone ( just like a first clean!!) then up popped vision, brill, I added it to the pure, yes the results are subtle but they were there, since that day not one single customer ( and I have a few ) has ever said the Windows have lost that bright zing of the first clean
Of course, you can argue it's just coinsidence, it's something to boost my confidence, I don't really know or understand how WFP works, but the science is clear, water (even pure) can only do so much, and to have, embrace and use pure water on steroids is the right way forward.
To me it sounds like you may have a few confidence problems with respect to cleaning and WFP, I Could be wrong but that's just the way you come across..
