they turn up with there pole expecting it to be easy and give them a quick do ,up a ladder you wouldnt miss the mark so you would get it off no problem

Only if some idiot householder sprayed it on his window hinges and oversprayed. Bet he misses the bog in the same way too when he has a pee! ;D

That`s not really household though. The bogs in t`backyard.
  And why would you spraying WD40 anyway? Your vandalism aside they were very overrated and did a lot of cover versions.

That's assuming you double your number of customers in 2 years.

trad and wfp are just different tools for window cleaning! shouldnt be against each other!

the wfp advantages far out way the advantages of trad!

you clearly dont have much commercial work - alot of commercial sites have a no ladder policy! with an onsite h&s officer

Or halves the time between  cleans.  ;)

Yes, but i am always being told that wfp gives a more lasting result than trad...therefore few cleans required  ???
