i have never found beading to have anything to do with what it has been cleaned with before to be honest, nor have i ever had a window stop beading nomatter how many times it has been wfp'p.i'm not saying vince green is wrong, just my experience over last 3 years wfp.i dont want you brushing away all day thinking that the beading will stop as i'm almost sure it'll make no difference.
what do the other guy's think??

good luck :D

I'm Deliberately Typing This With Capitals So You Take Notice...

A Spot Free Finish Is Not Necessarily To Do With Sheeting Or Beading Glass!

Beading Glass Will Dry Spot Free If You Clean & Rinse Properly....

Wash those top rails well.

Thanks Andy
In the new year I plan to buy lots of spares to be on my gaurd for any faults,but will always have the ladders to fall back on (no pun intended) ;D
I hope I  never have to climb them again for cleaning windows, but I know I have some customers in the same area were I will need my ladders to gain access to flat roofs.

So, what are you driving now, Jeff?
Still driving my mondeo estate, its out of hospital now and back on the road ;D need it for towing my caravan, so if I do get a van in the future it has to be capable of pulling it.

I am still unsure of the way to go? I could mount it all in the car 250ltr tank car specs are good for it, or I could convert my trailer that has fitted brakes.
still playing with the idea, if I use my trailer I have designed an alarm for it based on a mecury tilt switch, but first of all I have to build a lockable lid for it, to much money spent to leave it just laying about out side without protection.

I also have a lockable, ally pole carrier that cost me a free clean from one of my customers (£8) he used to be a plumber but gave it up to work in the helicopter factory here.

Just built myself a lockable pump box, but just read the spec about having air circulating around it, so I'll have to drill some more holes in it.

Does anyone know why you have to mount a varistream on the face of things? and why can't you mount it ontop of a box so the switch is facing upwards, the only reason I can see is so heat from the transistors heatsinks goes away from the pcb and not onto it. Does anyone know the answer?

Zeusjazmin,

I think the backpack is great for domestic work.  Why don't you start a new post giving your problems with it and let's see if some of us 'backpack guys' can give you a few tips?

There's so many variations of useing this flexible tool, that I'm sure you'd be to get a few ideas how to use it more effectively and easier too.

Zeusjazmin,
I agree with you. I found it too much hastle personally for my domestic customers, on commercial its great!
I do know however, Tosh swears by it, and a few ofther guys on the forum use it for all the domestic work to. I suppose it all depends what type of round you have to start off with, and how fast you are at trad!

I agree with Tosh about starting another post, I have just bought a backpack and would like to see the comments.
