With trad yes,but WFP..........WTF!,...........just brush it once or twice,wiping the sill with a cloth after WFP defeats the use of it,if your going to wipe the sills with a cloth after WFP you might as well do the windows trad ;D

Depends how bad they are before we start. Plus don't want all those grimy bits littering up the brush for the next job  :)

Sometimes i dry cills with a cloth. But only on new work when debris keeps coming out from that recess, no matter how much time i spend brushing and flushing. Otherwise i don't see the point.
I have been told by a couple of customers before, that their brother/sister/pet dog's window cleaner wipes the cills. Why don't i?
I tell them i don't because the cills will get wet anyway until the window has dried. They seem to have accepted this. For now.

I don`t wipe sills what a time waster that is,i tell the customer that for the first 4-5 cleans bits might run out from the gaps in the sills and after that it will stop.Once they`ve all been removed from previous cleans you`ll find clothing sills is not needed.
