See the trailer at:

www.windowcleaningessentials.co.uk

It would be ideal for someone just starting up, but even window cleaners that have been doing it for a while can pick up tips on how to do increase  speed on traditional work.

The guy cleaning in the video ( : me) is the same guy in this video clip of the Windex Speed Event.

If you want to rip me apart now after seeing the clips, feel free.

Do you know why?

[M4RK]

Hi,

Yes someone else told me that, do you use firefox?
Internet explorer should work.

Try this direct link.

[S_RICHARDSON]

Still dunt work:

Could you send me the trailer in email:

shaun_richardson1991@yahoo.co.uk

[M4RK]

Strange that you can't open that link either.

I'll sort out an email for you.

Anyone else had problems?

I've uploaded the video trailer to Google video
 
here's the link
 
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-6319820987865573931
 
It's streamed video so should work better but can still take time to show
with slow connection speeds.

I opened it and think its pretty crap.

Paul

[M4RK]

Thanks Paul,

Guess I asked for that. 

Anything in particular?

Mark 

[pjulk]

Well the chap doing the conservatory seems to be in a world of his own.

But mainly its all the tiny little clips i think are rubbish.
I think it would be better with slightly longer clips.

I think the only descent clip was the chap ragging the georgian windows with both hands.

But that is just my opinion

If its a DVD you made i apologise its great

Mark,

Good idea!
Never had anything like this when I started.  Mind you probably wouldn't have bought it!
Too tight fisted.  Could buy a squeege, washer, scrim and sill cloth for that and watch a few others in town then try myself!!
However, I don't believe that is the right attitude!!  For £20 your DVD is, I hope, full of advise on all aspects of the trade which would take years to learn.  With the help of the DVD a new person to our trade may be able to learn faster and get up to a good rate quicker and soon earn back the £20 investment!

Good luck to you!

looks good to me, im looking forward to the wfp dvd when it comes out, i will almost certainly buy it.your never to old or to clever to learn something new and if just one tip makes your working day more productive,then whats £20

[windows_chepstow]

I'd have bought it!  I think I spent a fiver on some crap e-mail American book which was horrendous.

I reckon if you're new to the trade, don't have someone experienced to show you the ropes, then twenty quid would be well worth it.

[M4RK]

Thanks guys,

The video is 45 mins long and the trailer is a bit rubbish actually...I didn't do the editing, but we don't want to give all the secrets away in the trailer!

The bit with me doing the conservatory is a bit while I'm talking at the same time.

Something else I'm not happy with on the trailer is the bit where I clean the sill with a blade...it's NOT the blade I use on the windows, its a cheap plastic squeegee I use occasionally to get the most of the water off first. I find your wet cloth stays decent for longer.

The stuff it covers is equipment and basic tecnhniques for beginners.
Then more advanced techniques - two handed techniques and time saving tips.

There's also a bit where we talk about organisation, cleaning in the rain, staying motivated etc.

The bit I like most is the comparison of time taken using basic techniques with that of the advanced techniques to see how much difference it makes.

Mark,

Send me a free one, and I'll write an honest review!

[M4RK]

Tosh,

I might just take you up on that..

David, Sounds like you've seen it already!

Rugby talks a lot of sense

I'm quite camera shy so go easy on me Tosh!

I'll just be honest.  If you're ugly, you're ugly and I'll state that in my review.

I have just ordered it , and will do an honest review when it arrives.

I think everyone knows I Speak my mind and call a spade a spade.

[S_RICHARDSON]

It's not that bad mark,
Me personally i wouldn't buy because I was specifically taught in person by my boss. I personally prefer this mehod because i grasp the idea more and take it in.

But that's just my opinion!

[M4RK]

Gulp!

Oh pants, What have I let myself in for

It's not George Lucas standard, so I'm not going to overhype, but I'm confident there'll be enough decent tips on there to make it worth buying...

I'd say it's better than the trailer, but we don't want to give too much away on the trailer do we.

Anyway I'm going to shut up now on the subject and we'll wait and see what you guys think after seeing it.

Let's talk about the window cleaning resources website instead!

Hi Mark,

I thought the trailer looks very pro, who is the other guy staring in it alongside you, a very fitting face and voice for such a dvd might i add.

ProPole

[M4RK]

Thanks ProPole,


His name's Steve,

He's the "presenter".

He's actually very good. I hate seeing myself on camera, but I think he's in his element!

He's a top bloke and it wouldn't be near as good without him.

Anyway, like I say, I'm gonna shut up for a bit about it and brace myself for the onslaught.
