As Daveyboy says with the first cleans although I'm a little baffled how WFP could get a frame cleaner than when I do it manually with a hot soapy cloth (and scourer, UPVC restorer if necessary).
I've been using a Gardiner backpack and pole for the last couple of years, for my needs its been brilliant and for just over two hundred quid you can't go wrong, battery lasts forever and the lady I spoke to was brilliant, I didn't have a clue what I needed and she talked me through everything.
I've got to a size I can just about manage (with help), I considered going WFP but like you I only clean two days a week and the numbers didn't stack up (running second vehicle, set up costs etc), I did have a thought recently, if I could invest in a pool vehicle with cleaners from other watches we could get the van working seven days a week, could be a nightmare but if well managed could be a great benefit.
The earnings are realistic but I wouldn't describe them as easy, this is hard graft, you are going to have to work hard and knock on a lot of doors to build the round. Winters seem to knock a few out of the equation even though the last few have been pretty mild.
One downside is you only get so many days off and when the weathers good there is always cleaning to catch up on so the only leisure days you get are when its lashing it down.
