I have a astra van. Mk4. Some pics of it on my "sign writing proof" thread.

Have used a 350ltr lay flat tank.

I am having it coming out the side of the van, Making it so a brass hozelock connector (male) Just poking through.

Has to be neat. And not to worried about devalueing van As i will more that likely kill it in my time anyway.

Exciting times for you krave.  ;D
You have bought well and with the kit you have you are opening up a whole new world of possibilities.
Fair play to you.

I have a lot of houses that I can will really benifit from Wfp. Houses with three ladder lifts per window etc.

Can I ask what you mean by the finish and doing trad on the commercial mate.....
Quote

it was mainly the doors of the buildings where peoples hands have been on the glass, i found that i couldnt get rid of them with the brush so had to go trad, not a big problem but just goes to show that wfp aint the answer to everything ;D

It's very hard to know unless on really big jobs, (where you started is dry by the time you finish) but the moral of the story i think is don't forget we are there to clean the windows.
Not every job takes to wfp 100%. But with the time saved, it is easy to quickly detail any problem windows.
This is why it's important to check some or (most 1st cleans)  work when dry. Time consuming in the beginning, but knowing which windows love wfp and which ones don't initially will save you loads of time on subsequent cleans.

Well all Didnt go to plan last week. Lent some money and all wernt wrong etc etc.

So called Gardiners up on monday to check they had a alright amount of stock left and got told they had 3, yes 3! My heart sank as I already missed out on the 22, and started thinking Im going to end up getting a 30 if I want it before Xmas. But the lovely ladie on the other end of the phone said they would hold it for me untill Wednesday,  ;D.

Come Wednesday my money hadnt come back so was fuming and worried, but got most of it, said could I pay for the pole and order the rest of the bits I wanted today, they said they would wait till today! Excelent. Looked online last night and they had sold out!!! Was not feeling comfortable last night incase they had accidently sold it or something.

Called up this morning after getting a parking ticket putting cash in the bank and ordered it! Was confirmed at 3 this afternoon that it did get sent out for delivery, so should be here tomo!!!!!!!!

Practice over the weekend a little and hit a few of my bigger jobs next week with it!

Need to find some threads about best technique etc, and any tips and general routine.

Does anyone know if the fitted flow valve that you can order on the slx is a tap, or like a trigger valve??

Happy days!!!

A tap. You will need to adjust the pressure switch on your pump after fitting one, to make it work. Or adjusting yopur flow controller.  :D
