I also wfp everything.
I have some jobs that i will revert to trad again, but it is too soon after changing and the choice at the moment is wfp or nothing.
Trad insides of course.
mark
should add that i would definitely have been trad still if it wasn't for the forums.

WFP on everything high but about 50/50 at ground level. Now I have the pole I do things like leaded that I never would have touched before so they all get done with the magic water.
The main reason for doing a lot of the ground floor windows with WFP is to bring the frames up rather than the windows which could be done trad.
Also, I don't agree with the idea that once a window has been cleaned WFP you can't switch back and forth between WFP and trad. As long as you don't use washing up liquid but use a "proper" window detergent and pure water it works OK.
As D Salkeld says, we are all still learning

wfp 99%
Insides still trad.
Ladder hasn't been off for about 2 months!
Trad for nearly 19 years. Knees shot, elbows and wrists not much better, insteps collapsed.
wfp 8th month- did it for health and safety, didn't expect to make much more at end of day.
Mind you if I wasn't wfp I'd be trad

Hi All
Just going over to pole (4 weeks ago). Its very slow and I use a lot of water to get the first clean to very good quality. But I can see the speed coming up. I hope to be faster with the pole than trad as I'm only 5 foot 4, I need a pointer on most ground floor windows and standoffs on most first floors. I'm as quick as most on windows I can reach. Most of my work is on mature estates with a mix of window types with tall windows and bays etc. I think I'll allways trad as some windows just are not suitable for the pole.
Regards Mal

If the Mrs is working with me it's everything WFP except some doors,[leaks]
If I'm working alone it's tops, and the bottom ones I can't reach without a ladder.
I still trad oap's bunglows, even if I have to stand on my trusty milk crate, I prefer it to the pointy.Dai
