i was rain of today as it was really bad, looked out my window, and there was a team of 8 landscape gardiners all cutting the grass in heavy rain with yellow raincoats on, no one blinks an eye about them,  ???

My customers think more of me if I clean in the rain, it shows I'm dedicated and will never let them down. I usually get massive tips if it's really lashing it down. I do a perfect job too every time - I've never seen any spotting whatsoever although when the lightning flares up I can sometimes see a smear as the glass glints.
You are just a cowboy if you don't clean in all weathers in my opinion.

I was rained off and went fishing instead, i was absolutely soaked to the bone, came home at 11am to do some quotes and seen a lad round the corner from me in shorts cleaning windows, and it was torrential rain, pointless, trad he was doing as well :)

His custies are gonna be pee'd

what a stupid thing to say 99% of people would not like you to clean when raining "fact" would you have your car fully valetted in a rain storm "no" beacause its your money, you do not care what your custies think of you but most of us do!
i bet they moan like hell behind your back

ditto they rock!!!

gutters and conservatory roofs if I can.

but you get the odd job that have to be done in the rain. especially when you have done a whole street then need to go it starts to bucket down and you have to do two more to keep them on the same round.
