Name the shops Roger.
One may have been the shop Em works in,....was kind of justified at that point, there were spots on the glass, hands up, I'll admit it, but that was the only time, and I'll also warrent that if they attempted to clean the insides they would also find fault were it done trad (as I have no option but to do it now due to the windows being leaky)
Whether done with squeegee or scrim/microfibre you will either find kicks from the squeegee due to the size of the glass (just like I watched you leaving on the paintshop on almost every pane you squeeged...trust me mate, I've employed window cleaners for years and I assure you I know what to look for, and if you cleaned the inside of those windows those kicks would show up, and I know full well because as you know I did inside and out of those windows every 2 weeks for several years when it was an opticians)
You also made an aside some months ago about the chinese furniture shop...reckoned you saw spots.....you did indeed see them....they were inside and the owner pointed out these spots in the belief they were outside....a single wipe with a cloth proved otherwise.
You also made several comments about the large fabric shop too, never a single flaw on that place...ever, and I'll challenge you to prove me wrong, when I told you I would take it up with the owner you were very reticent about me doing so, when I did he told me he never even knew you and had never spoken to you about them (or his wife who you said approached you at traffic lights).
Take a look at those windows...you could not get near that standard of clean, don't forget, I do the entire frontage and all of the paintwork all the way around.
If you are going to accuse me of poor work on an open forum, be very sure of your facts, and be prepared to back them up, because I most certainly am.
Go along to a job no more than an hour or so after I've cleaned them, the glass will have dried and at that point, if you can fault my work I'll eat my hat.
I have perhaps a half dozen shop windows where WFP is not the best tool for the job, and yes, I still use WFP on them, georgian and awkward height being the reason.
Mistakes occasionally happen, nobody is pefect, but you are utterly wrong in your assumption that WFP does a poor job, you keep bleating on about it, claiming time after time that it is not the equal of Trad, and then claim you have nothing to prove when offered the chance to either prove or disprove your claims.
In fact on one thread when pushed about the offer, you claimed something along the lines of, 'Whats the point? Ian will make sure he does a perfect job.'
DUH!!!
Hello??? That my friend is the whole bloody point!
And I'll do it at the very least as fast as you will and the frames, doors and surrounds will also be done
And the bigger the job, the faster it will be done relative to what you could do it in.
Your own personal comments have once again turned a perfectly reasonable thread into Trad v WFP.
And you are also implying I don't do a good job...something I have never, ever said about you. (until now perhaps, you get paid a very good price for that paintshop....when was the last time you bothered to clean the panes of glass directly above the door? I was charging almost half what you are getting and I did them every time without fail, skipping windows was something I never did.
