LWC couldn't trad to save his life,that's why he uses water on a stick. You only have to push up and down no skill needed at all. ;D ;D ;D ;D

hmm considering i traded 3 years before i changed over, and regurlarly clean insides for people, ill think youll find im a dammed good trader  :P but again, i prefer wfp  ;)

Yea glass looks good from a distance but get up close and then you will see, and I agree high windows should be cleaned with WFP  for saftey reasons as I do but trad ( and if you know how to trad ) gives better results.
There has always been a them and us on forums regarding trad and wfp but i find the guys who dismiss trad are the ones who are soley wfp, they want to protect their investment.

and i dont dismiss it at all...i trad most days, but insides only, as in MY opinion, wfp DOES do a better job. its not easy to use, so now your the one dismissing wfp saying theres no skill involved.

and water on a stick that i just rub up and down, love to see your windows when they dry! its not that simple at all! it DOES take skill. i wish i could just rub up and down a few times. it doesnt take 2 - 3 cleans if you use it well. hoses are never a problem as long as you hae signs out, if there is a problem, get a trolley or backpack. clean the vents out and then they wont run. so no you couldnt go on forever as i will stump ya  :P

and yes its only a tool, one which i prefer to use as its better.

at the end of the day...we're all as bad as each other to be honest arent we! i prefer wfp so im gonna say to everyone they should use it, and other people are trad, and theyll reccomend that, but to be fair i never say dont trad or slag it off, but i could, for example, we did a school a few months ago, the downs got traded and up wfp'd, the downs look horrendous now and the wfp are still shining. get round that one?? wfp is quicker but its not easy!

its own personal preference at the end of the day isnt it

I have to agree, i tried wfp for the first time on Friday and i felt well awkward and silly (trad for 21 yrs). How quick do you get over that feeling  ::)

Still can't decide whether to change over or not.

I cleaned my own windows on friday for the fifth time WFP with water at 0 tds. The entire house was near perfect with the exception of the kitchen window and door, which was spotted up from top to bottom and I have no idea why. I went over them again and they came up perfect the second time. So I'd say to get them to come up perfect or near perfect every time takes some skill.

Is wfp a brand of squeegee?
