Wfp does a good job most of the time. There are weather conditions especially if you live near the coast, that WFP can be dreadful.
I cleaned my windscreen this morning WFP, within 2 hours it was really filthy, and I was parked up the whole time. Strong onshore winds are a waste of time with WFP.
I don't know if it's the salt laden air, or stuff blowing around. My screen was not spotty there were dried rivulets of water all over it. I really think that DI water attracts salt. If I had cleaned trad, or dried it off with a blade I would not have had the problem.
To be fair, I don't get half the complaints WFP than I did trad, and I didn't get many then.
But WFP is not Gods gift all the time. Dai

Yes.
She went off with another lad (ex-boyfriend) a couple of weeks ago.
I caught her out and she said she'd had enough after nearly 9 years, and with a 5 year old daughter.
Two weeks later she's still living here with me and I can't go near her.
Painful ain't the word.

I don't want her to leave, but if she does it'll be easier to deal with.
To be fair we haven't always got on, but it's not until you've lost it you realise how much you miss it.

I know it`s hard mate but the truth is if she dosen`t want to be with you and as hard as it is let her go and do yourself a favour,you deserve better but don`t give in when she comes crawling back.

I changed over to wfp for safety reasons, it's not "the old excuse" either. My circumstances dictated that this was the way to go. I was in partnership with another lad who got fed up with windowcleaning so I was on my own. wfp allows me to work safely on my own. When I first used wfp I would have been very happy if the results had been the same as when I did trad, I wasn't expecting a windowcleaning utopia or an easy money trip. I just wanted to work safely on my own. Before we parted I timed all the work we did, the other day I timed again and I thought to myself, it's no faster than trad. It then dawned on me that I'm doing it in exactly the same time now as when there was two of us. So there is a fiscal advantage for me, but it certainly wasn't the reason I swapped over.

Thankyou all for listening to my rant

I was thinking this the other day,i thought to myself this house used to take me 1.5 hrs before when using ladders and it`s taken me the same time today with the pole,it then dawned on me that when using ladders there was 3 of us lol.

Sorry to hear that Rog.  I'm sure it will all work out in the end mate.  Although no two situations are identical, I went through a load of difficult relationship stuff around 01/02/03.  It resulted in me moving 3 times in a year.  Very stressful stuff.  I've emerged from it a stronger person but it took time to get there.  Best of luck with it all.

I Understand what you are saying about houses where the water forms 'globules' on the glass. But even these should come up good. You probably have seen this clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxqvqJK6s34

In the video there are shots of windows drying with water still on the glass,Speeded up and its crystal clear...
I too have houses like this and they come up great  

However WFP is prone to problems like dust blowing back onto the wet glass.... Frames that leak or have rubbers leaving spots...

There was a post some time ago about trade window cleaners that clean inside and probably go out again because they can see a smear that they left..probably would of not noticed if they didnt do the insides...

If the windows come up too bad, Then it is a job for Trade if there is a odd spot and I mean odd They wfp it,,Why because for the sake of a spot the windows will not be trashed when the rain comes traditionally

Hi Mike.
Yep, I am on the correct site. One of the guys that replied to you made reference to "you tube". It was very interesting. I must come over and see this wfp in action. Looks a whole lot safer than a ladder on a windy day. The you tube film shows someone cleaning  the roof of a conservatory. I have a customer with a consevatory that i dont think has ever been cleaner. Its thick with green alge. Would a wfp get this off?
Good to see you yesterday.
Regards
Tony

Hi Tony.

What are you doing still up at 2 am!

Yes, WFP will get all the green algae off the conservatory.

However, in order to speed the job up (and make a better job of the gutter brackets and any other awkward bits) a lot of cleaners spray the algae with TFR (traffic film remover) first.

Jason will tell you where he bought ours - but you're welcome to try some of ours if you're in the area to collect it.

Give me a ring.

Regards.

Mike

I prefer traditional but would not change back to that full time as i do a lot of builders cleans and would not be allowed to use ladders on site.
I can get away with my 8ft pointer though for some insides i do on site's.

On domestics i do the odd occasional house traditional with my a frame just for a change really as i find WFP so boring.

Some weeks i think WFP is crap and feel like chucking it all away and going back traditional.

Other weeks i find it the bee knees.

How do you get cement, plaster & silicone off with wfp?
