WFP - Black streaks from rubber seals?
« on: May 02, 2007, 09:08:28 am »
Hi all.

Thinking of using wfp (for first time) on some houses.

However, have experienced some upvc windows where - if you touch the black glazing seal with your cloth/scrim (whilst detailing) an ugly black streak is dragged onto the white upvc frame. And its a bu**er to get rid of.

What happens with wfp when the brush bristles touch the seal?

Thanks. Will read later - 6 ton of hardcore just arrived for the garden!.

Sometimes no prob - sometimes as you described.

I had to clean all the frames within reach with upvc cleaner I told the woman I really didn't want to clean it again in future and so far I've managed to avoid it.
