You know that ocasional day when the sun is  just wrong and  the windows you have  just  done  just look apalling as , when  the other side of the house looks   brillant when out of  direct sunlight ???
Well   do WFP  guys ever get this  effect  or is it just trad that suffer from it ?
Anyone  have any answers to stop this prob ?

your probably correct. I had a first clean this morning, the back windows had been egged(obviously had told the trick or treaters to sod off) so I had to go over the windows a few times to clean off all the egg and shell, but it still looked filthy but when I had a close look it was all on the inside

Ive been using fairy latlely, dont thoink  thats the cause , I would have liked to hear off a WFP guy on this .
Ive not had a problem  with a customer in over 3 years , but  today on the problem house the lady did politely ask me if I had  forgottten to clean the windows , I had just done a full inside ans out the front out of the  sun  ...perfect  sinnyside  ...rubbish all  smeary  and very very fine dust  glinting in the sunlight.
 I was thinking it  was from my microfiber ?, detailed outside  but wiped all over inside , going over  again made littlew difference, just altered the smearing / dust apearance.
Spose i could have tried just squeegying off inside and out ?  maybe next time

I know what you mean.  When the sun is at a certain point in the sky, usually low down, it'll show every 'defect' in your work.  Something to do with polarising light or something.  Where you turned the squeegy and all the stuff you wouldn't normally see when the sun is at a different angle.

I can quite honestly say that with WFP, you don't normally get these problems; in fact a well done WFP cleaned window can be faultlessly clean.

I get the exact same thing with fairy, thats what it is mate. Its like greasy marks......  . its down to the solution being to strong and drying out in the sun. No matter how much you try and detail it away it needs re washing//

Use squeegee off by ettore mate, Glide is so much better and none of that horrible film.

Mogy - are you saying you didn't use a squeegie on the inside? Any dust from cloth only will show up bigtime in low sun.

I have learnt that in the low winter sun, when doing insides on smaller panes then the old "unprofessional" straight across squeegie pull leaves fewer marks. Outsides of course are all wfp for me.
It's a game of three halves!

Don`t blame the sun, you`ve not cleaned them properly :-\.  I keep saying it but you need to cut through the stuff on the window. Use your applicator thoroughly enough to do so.
  I use a 10" t-bar quite a lot. It`s easier to keep wet and scrub with.
  That`s why wfp causes less problems- all that water and scrubbing.
  Also, on inside work I`d use a squeegee rather than just a m/fibre. Unless they are done very frequently.

Even better, use GG4 never had a problem with GG4 and a cap full of sorbo glide in my bucket.
