Ahhhhhh, the water must pump in a more professional manner with a 'pro' system!!
With a DIY, the water thinks...'i'm a bodge job and not from a 4040 so i'm not going to dry like my cousins from the pro system'!
Mate, its commonsense, if your water is 0, diy or pro, you'll not get streaks...
You could work out if Del Boys 3 wheeler, but as long as your TDS is 000ppm and you know how to clean windows then you'll not get spots...
On topic, who cares whether trad or wfp is your preference?
99% of custies just want clean windows, you could use your negligee to clean them if they're not in. As long as the windows are clean when they're back home, jobs a good one
You get crap trad (theres some that live locally) and crap wfp (typing this post)
Both work well, depends who's using them
Thats what i mean unless using pure your risking losing customers!
Im diy as well so wasnt trying to sound the big i am!
But i do believe some ways are better than others-
A 25ft slx against working with a 25ft fibre glass pole all day, by midday with the fibreglass you will be tired and end up not doing such a good job compared to the lightness of the slx where at midday your still going strong,
The same with someone who lugs a backpack about all day vs a vanmount! The backpacker would be tired by midday and not do such a good job as the guy with energy left who isnt tired from just reeling in and out his reel.
There are many things that add to the source that wfp isnt as good as trad in customers eyes. Im just being open minded with it all, i have had it so many times now canvassing having them ask how is it done as they dont want the pole..
I used a 30ft Bayerson impressor for my first 6 months before i brought an slx
Granted, the windows were easier to clean with the slx, and i was probably less nakerd...but the windows weren't any cleaner using the slx...
If i may say so myself, i do a pretty thorough job on the windows (vents,frames etc...) but i did the sane job with the Bayersan...it comes down to the person using it
Just the same with trad, when i first learnt to trad i was crap, didn't even know how to fan, leaving streaks and needing to detail loads...not any more
If the person using either method is competant, they both work well
(I'm talking on the majority of windows here, there is always the odd one that needs to be trad and visa versa)
I've had customers say to me they prefer trad, ive said giz a go and see what you think and they've been happy
Because the previous bloke was poope
I've had sone people say they want that pole thingy as the last trad guy was a port hole cleaner and left the opaque windows...not all trad guys are crap, just this bloke
I repeat, who cares how you clean the window as long as the window finishes clean?
And if you know what you're doing, with both methods, it will do
