Do you think it was down to technique? or have you been going for a while. What was the problem? Just curious as im venturing into wfp.

Poor paintwork, perished gaskets, traffic film, insect specks etc etc etc.  WFP isn't a magic wand, it can't cope with every situation but if the windows are in good condition without cracked/oxidised paint or poor gaskets or oily deposits, then bad results are almost always down to operator incompetence.

So there :P

So to sum up, WFP only works in lab' conditions!!!

Get real dude. ;)

been doing this place since june every 3rd week. They have never said anything as i always ask how the windows are and if all cleaning up ok.  I was shocked to say the least.  I may trad these ones from now on as be just as quick and wipe frames down every so often as it's a conservatory sat very low on outsides and sunken into the property inside.

The worst thing I'm still finding is I'm still,after 6 odd months,getting white dots at the top of frames.It's not dirt I've missed,it's in the spots of water that is left after I've rinsed,but just at the tops.TDS is 000 and the rest of the windows generally seem fine.Spoke to a very experienced chap I bought some gear off and he said there is naff all you can do about it.I trad downstairs windows now because of it so at least I can be assured the downstairs is tip top.As a side note,I've never had a single complaint about wfp results though.

Next time you see those spots - take a closer look and try 'buffing' them off.

You might find that they are inbetween the panes of glass - I have come across a lot like that.

Where I find that to be the case, I point it out to the customer so that they are aware that it is not my cleaning that is at fault.

I'm shocked that you haven't checked your finished wfp work before.  :o
The good bit is that now you have seen the result, you will/should work out how to overcome it.
And once done, you can fly round safe in the knowledge. All you gotta do is get it right that 1st time.
