I don't have a WFP (yet)
But if you catch a loose piece of cement with anything and move across a window it will scratch

it wudnt ave been a loose bit of cement. more possibly grit!! which is y i cant see it happening as it wud more likely wash away and wi the length of the bristles on the brush it wudnt be in contact with glass..

It's probably one of 3 things
1, The builders own labourer cleaning glass, with a chisel or sandpaper from what we've seen in the past!
2, Glass scratched during construction
3, Glass scratched by painters preparing frames
Using a WFP with (copious) amounts of water would not scratch glass. Your customer has probably never been able to see through her windows before!!!

Sneak a look at some of the neighbouring houses chances are they will have scratched glass as well and then tell your customer (assuming the other houses are also scratched ) that it is down to whoever did the builders clean.

never heard of of a WFP scratching....but have seen a few cases of damage. For example...georgian style windows where the cross members that form the design are stuck on to a single double glazed unit..crap design really......but they can be knocked off easily...done it myself (wont hurt proper georgians though)
