I have had a couple of custies experiencing this recently, I changed filters and resin about 6/7 weeks ago , have been back to the street today and noticed these after the windows had dried, 2 custies told me that this happened last time.
Its only this time and last time this has occurred, I've never experienced problems with these windows before.
I clean the frames each visit and my water tds is 000, what am I doing wrong, should I wait a few mins after doing the frame before cleaning the glass? eg clean 3-4 frames before returning to the 1st window to do the glass.

wfp will never do a perfect job compared to trad, in fact if you were to go at end of day and check every job you,ve done you might be surprised how many are spotty. most people generally wont complain because w/c is reliable/trustworthy/friendly.........they dont wanna rock the boat. people can blame wind, rain, not rinsing enough but sometimes [lot of the time] it dosent do a good job.  |

What a load of dung. If the windows are spotted then you're not rinsing enough. I use WFP top and bottom and never get any spotting unless I don't rinse enough. |

if after making a large investment in equipment for your wfp and you go out and clean windows and it doesn't work and every job has a problem with it as has been suggested, then I would respecfully suggest that you return your equipment, try and get your money back and go back to the ladder. For me WFP works and wouldn't do it any other way.

a bad workman always blames his tools end of. two years and still no complaints but then i do not do 5 houses an hour . there will always be bad window cleaners no matter what tools they use. |

Medusa i think you are spot on with your comments (no pun intended)
I wonder if those who think you are talking dung inspect every window they do from the inside, i very much
doubt it. I have one window in my own house that is always spotty, even after putting 10 litres of water on
it. The only way to get it perfect is trad, I often wonder how good some of these wfp cleaners are at trad
cleaning. At ground level I can clean windows faster with a blade than my mate can wfp, dont get me wrong
im not decrying wfp its great for upstairs, and lead windows but its certainly not the be all end all of windowcleaning

trad is only a bit better because you can see any visble mistakes straight away where as wit wfp its a matter of letting the window dry but can we all honestly say even cleaning trad over the years we have cleaned every single window perfectly we all make mistakes

Im happy i have got the wfp system , but i still use the ladders 50% of the time .
After a couple of years experiance i now know when to pole and when to trad .
Its great using both as well .Advantages are that you use different muscles during the day and also dont get bored of one method .

some people on here have been smoking crack how the hell can you say wfp doesn't work.
sure there are a few problem windows but on the whole it leaves a far better finish than trad.
though I will say that I would dread going back to a cold water system found that hot water makes all the difference
i have lost count of customers who have said there windows have never been cleaner.
go hot wfp and keep the faith!
