I trad all my shops and most bungalows.

I'd get bored if I didn't.
I love trad work, but it was knackering me doing it all the time.

wfp is just another tool in the box

trad is a brilliant way to start a low budget business,



if it is dirty it is fair game

i do PVC with WFP and in all honesty you could blade them allday long and never get the same results as you can with the pole it`s mustard on the PVC windows.
That's rubbish.

I use both, but you can do a more thorough job by hand.
hi Squeaky, I know you were a strong trad defender and argued with the wfp lads.I know that due to your shoulder problem you went and acquired the wfp kit and understand totally as you have to look after yourself.
But now that you have begun using wfp, and reading this comment, you seem to still believe trad is a better job now you have begun wfp and can make a direct comparison, is that right or am I getting the wrong message?

This thread is NOT about that.
If you wish to debate it, start a new thread.

There isn't a day goes by where I don't use Trad, if you are a window cleaner you have to be able to use traditional methods.
WFP questions get asked a lot on here because there is so much to it, Membranes, Resin, Pumps, Hoses, van/trolley/backpack, brushes, jets, methods, problems and so on and so forth!

When a trad question is asked, it generally gets a lot of replies, as has been said, almost allwho now use WFP are also long  term trad window cleaners...

Right...gotta go...got a pub to WFP....and then trad the inside of it ;)

Apologies if that comment is directed at me. I did not mean to begin a trad v wfp debate, I was trying to ask Squeaky what he thought about wfp now that he had his own wfp equipment and does he think it does the kind of job that has a lot of people really pleased with it or at the minute does he think that the case for wfp is overhyped. This is what I was trying to get at but I had been drinking Stella!!!
I realise my earlier post does open up a debate issue so sorry about that. I put the question across badly.

ive been wfping a few months and have struggled but today i went to a round where i have had trouble and they came up gleaming. Im hoping the lead in period on that round is over and this will give me more confidence to introduce more work to wfp.

it does and will get much better...  if you have a problem, with a window (unlikely after 3rd clean) (i get them perfect nearly all the time 1st time now), just look at the marks and think how they have come to be there before you re-do them.

9 times out of 10 it will be a dirty drip from above.

i find the more water you use, the better and faster the job is.

oh, and i always clean the tops of the frames
