Nevermind the amount of RSI that it saves on the wrists and knees all that S shape blading and up and down ladders constantly. Less movement, for longer. Business.

I watched a window cleaner go up a ladder to clean leaded with just a damp scrim on Tuesday, no bags, no BOAB, no bucket, nothing other than a scrim. Cowboy!

While I agree it's quicker when you mention the pain it can cause wfp is the same. I've read many on here complain of stiff neck aching back sore arms so really no different. As for climbing ladders all day yeah it's tiring but no different from going to a gym and walking or running on a treadmill for an hour. I like the excercise to be honest.

Like @TolishAPurd a happy trader & I also don't think I'm a looser.

I trad for maybe 6 months, I won't claim to be a fast trader, I was decent, but I can't see how its possible to trad as fast as WFP, just can't see how its possible?

It is possible for me but to match wfp speed i would have to not wipe any frames or sills

That is where the time difference comes in as the frames and sills get done at the same time

Also the ladders would slow you down a bit

Bungalows i may match your wfp with my wagulator lol

If it's a maintainance clean then wfp is still quicker for me, just a couple of brushes on the glass and a quick rinse, faster than soaping up the window and blading them etc

im a speed demon tho on the blade i even inpress my self som e times :rofl:
