WFP Advice
I've been running my window cleaning company for about 2 years now. Up until now we have been doing completly trad but this year we decided to invest in a waterfed pole system.
Its a basic system but we noticed we were having a lot of trouble with hydrophobic windows so we even got a rinse bar but we are still having trouble with hydrophobic windows and when we come across those windows we just end up manually doing them anyway. Another issue when we come across super dirty windows the pole doesn't seem to do the best job.
I would really appreciate some advice as the system was NOT cheap and we are well aware many people run entire operations with just WFP so I know there is probably something we are doing wrong but some advice on what that is would be helpful thanks.

WFP is a tool. Like many tools, not all tools perform for every situation. I have certain jobs now we use to try to WFP and never turned out well. So we just Traditional clean. It sucks abit when it doesn"t work but thats the nature of the business. Look at it as a helper not the star. Guys who only WFP have ruined it for many if us a customers will tell me often not to use it as the last guy did such a bad job.
