I can't get over the moon, and there is still room for improvement.

I'd give it a 7.

It's good enough to get away with most of the time, but better result than squeegeeing?

Never.

Very happy with the change, although had you asked me when we were going THROUGH the change over I would have said - 10.

We still have the odd job thats traditional as well as all the inside cleans. Now they are nice to do just for a change back to the good old ways.

HI all

I would give it a 7. This is because I am new to it all and are still having some windows that give me problems. Mainly old soap coming out of them ( does anyone have this problem and how do you clean them with wfp ) all so I have not got a van, so I have to keep coming back to refill.

As for the results I would give it  9.
When I was trade all my customers were happy.
but now my customers say to me that the windows stay cleaner longer and they sparkle I would not say this is a step back..

I spent 6 grand on an omnipole system 4 years ago and used it for 3 years solid.  I have sinced changed back to traditional and have never been happier!  I just got sick of hearing the sound of my own voice banging on to anxious customers about pure water technology and h&s stuff, and finally realised that the reason I had made a lot of money using it was that I was very good at talking customers into accepting a system they really didn't like.  One day I just decided I'd had enough of doing it, got my ladders out (which never freeze or break down!) and Ive since had the stress free life of satisifed customers and no complaints I used to enjoy!  Its also been unbelievable the amount of business that has come my way on the estates I work from disgruntled reach and wash customers sick of having their house drenched, their plants ripped up by hoses, and their windows left dripping wet.

Im sitting pretty until one of us falls of our ladders!!!!  Any body else hate reach and wash or is it just me the idiot! ::)
