LOL,
This thread has been a classic.
It's something that is never going to be resolved. It is all a matter of personal perspectives from both window cleaners AND customers and i think everyone already knows this, it's just we all like to defend our corners.
I think Peter has had a bit of stick and Ian probably feels guilty because of starting this thread, but i don't think Peter's done himself any favours with the answers he has come up with, i think he's been a bit too aggressive to some comments made, especially considering he is trying to sell WFP. I'm in agreement with some of the other guys, i'm afraid that i couldn't clean a customers window in that way either, it just wouldn't feel right to me ( this is a personal thing and all of the comments in the world won't change this - its the way i am, whether it be a good or bad thing)
I also agree with some of the views about the WFP guys ganging up, don't get me wrong here it's not a problem for me - its just the feeling you get when reading through many of the posts on the forum, it's why i suggested earlier that it may be worthwhile seperating WFP from trad, they seem to be becoming two completely seperate subjects and whenever they combine in a thread, it is just becomes an argument.
WFP may be the future in many peoples eyes, but i think it's a very long way off yet, maybe not for the commercial guys but you have to remember that the window cleaners in this forum are not the only ones in the country. There are a HUGE number of window cleaners out there that do not use this forum and i think the vast majority will be trad.
If i'm driving around i may see the odd WFP but most of the window cleaners i see are traditional, nearly everywhere that i go.
