WFP is Rubbish?
« on: January 08, 2016, 11:43:08 pm »
So, i've seen a few topics and posts in the last few weeks on here of people saying that WFP is basically Rubbish and does a bad job and that trad is better. 

Someone please help me out here, i personally think WFP is great.  Aslong as you clean and rinse the frame then the glass i nearly always get a perfect streak free spot free finish.  I keep hearing that cleaning with WFP with direct sunlight shining on the glass makes the windows not look very good when they are dry.  Can somebody explain this to me, i've never experienced this and don't understand why using WFP in direct sunlight would make any difference aslong as the water is pure when rinsed after cleaning surely the finish should logically be the same?

Remember i am still fairly new to WFP so not all that experienced :P

I just checked and this thread wasn't started in 2006 like I thought it might have been.
It's a game of three halves!

Unless you go into all of your customers houses in a south facing room in the afternoon, you'll never know if you nearly always get a perfect finish until they have dried and your looking out of the window

No, some operators are rubbish!
Watched one yesterday doing an upstairs bay with 5 reveals.
Then he started immediately on the bay below.
Instead of starting on the lower bay with the reveal below the upper one he did first, he started on the one directly below the last one he'd just finished, with all the water still cascading and running down the wall onto the window he was cleaning.
There is no way that water had finished running down by the time he had cleaned the lower window and moved on.

  So yet another boring  thread started about WFP being rubbish,  I've been  WFP now getting on 4 years this year, i find if
  you WFP windows PROPERLY, taking time to clean them PROPERLY, and  " RINSING them PROPERLY" you can get amazing
  results,   i still Trad, but only insides when requested. 
  So for all the WFPolers who moan & groan about WFP being crap &  rubbish, here is the solution sell your WFP systems and
  go back  100%  Trad, ladders an all,  problem sorted end of.

Yaa WFP is rubbish I disagree. So cars are rubbish and jet planes are rubbish. Most people who rubbish WFP  just cannot afford to buy a system. Many and not prepared to save up their earning and have a reduce income to buy a good system. Don`t listen to the fools who spout  b/s  all day long.

Listen to your customers mate when they start telling you its rubbish then its time to worry, there are a few guys on here
who don't know the difference between cleaning a window and restoring it, direct sunlight just shows up more of the flaws
on the glass that have nothing to do with our job.
