I am about to start 3rd week of wfp.
I have educated my customers not to expect the windows to be as good as Tradtional w/c untill about the 4th clean.
I have spent lots of extra time at every house working hard on the frames and doing them thourghly, useing lots of water and rinseing plenty.
I explained to the customers that they would not be perfect straight away for 3 reasons. 1. I have done traditional w/c for 26yrs,it took me a long time to perfect my w/cleaning teqniqiue in allsorts of weather conditions to garantee a first class job. It will take me some time to perfect wfp, Honest but true, but The desire to still do a first class job ranks above my safety, and how much money I will earn.
2. The frames of the vast majorty of my customers are so bad that the wfp Brush will be picking up a lot of muck all the time that will hinder the cleaning process.But only on the first cleans. Some spotting but shiny Frames.
3. Detergent. I have used it for such a long time that it is on the glass and embedded under the rubber seals and you have to give it a least 3 cleans to be rid of it. The pure water draws it out of the seals on the first few cleans which causes spotting.
I have cleaned my own windows 3 times over the last 3 weeks and my own windows back up what I have told my customers. First clean, my wife slated me for doing a rubbish job,and warned me I would lose customers if I left their windows in that condition. 2nd time better but still not what I would be happy getting paid for. 3rd time, today superb my wife said she would of been happy to pay for them.
I have coverd my back and allowed some time to adapt to wfp with my customers backing. But if you are going to tell customers they will be perfect from the word GO you may be shooting yourself in the foot.
I went back the following day this week to a house I did with leaded windows. They were perfect, but I leather and scrim those so no detergent.
