Amazingly I was able to get into that site, but I can't get back to the academy. It's some sort of parking domain.

It maybe has always been there the reason you are all noticing it now is that everywhere else is much cleaner and any dirt now stands out
or possibly not just mindless rambling

despite the fact that i dont really want to agree with some one who says that "you have to spend 12k to do wfp properly"  ;D ;D ;D you may have a point. Just before xmas one of my more ,shall we say difficult, customers said that he thought that wfp "encouraged moss" on the sills on north side of house.I put this down to him being a bit of a moany nob but today i did three houses with north facing rears all have a cons at back and all very green dont remember them getting like this when trad ??? also i find that boots that used to stay dry all day when trad dont with wfp and the leather seems to really take a hammering (splits cracks etc)

Green definitely re-appears sooner using WFP.  I'm in no doubt about that.

especially in the bottom corners of the window frames. Notice it more on lengthy cleans.

i would say that i have noticed a green residue in the joints on the pvc windows too and i think it probably is down to wfp, i dont remeber it being there when i was trad

I would definately agree ive also noticed this since going wfp

i know 1 window cleaner that lost a customer through this

windows do stay cleaner longer with wfp but i never tell the customers this ive told them they dont get dirty as quick ;)

Nothing it's paid for itself many times over!
My system is 300gpd to di to 1000l IBC to 3yrold Scudo 400l tank to variflow/100psi pump to LPG on demand heater to 100m minibore reel to 17'xtel with a vikan flocked fan jet. And It's brilliant.

I bought the bits at cleantech and Gardiners. I have two of everything, reels, variflows and heaters. Gas Heaters can be changed in fifteen minutes and cost £250.

When I made the comment 12k to do it properly I meant marketing, signwriting,roof rack,etc.

My current project is motorising the reel.

after all the crap flying around re poo2 i should really be diplomatic so...... i just thought that the 12k comment implied that us cheapskate diy boys were wasting our time.....however this is a text based medium and it is sometimes difficult to fully grasp the subtleties of conversation in that format.Basically if we had been sat round a table in the pub it probably would have not bothered me at all so perhaps i should just calm down and not take peoples comments at face value :)for the record my set up is cobbled together from various sources and cost less than 3k including the van (10yr old scudo!!!)
