So I completed my first week water fed pole. After tradding for 4 years it's soooo different. Every inch of me is aching! ? I did quite enjoy it I have to say. Some windows were VERY tricky to do (ones over a long extension) and I really struggled with some of them to be honest. But I found the trickiest thing for me, and what slowed me down and frustrated me the most was hose management!!! I'm using a Pure Freedom van system with 100m minibore (I haven't pulled out 100m as yet though) Damn thing was getting stuck and caught on everything! If anyone has some good hose management tips I would greatly appreciate it!
Being a newb I was crapping myself walking away from wet windows. Especially on those tricky 'elder' customers if you know what I mean. I drove passed a customers window that I cleaned the previous morning and noticed a spotted/beaded line right down her window ? my heart sank. She has slightly leaded windows and I think the dirt had got under it and then ran after I left. I called in and redone it explaining to her praying she wouldn't drop me haha. So I'm hoping after a few cleans those things should iron themselves out?
Looking forward to getting back out Monday to do my other round hoping the windows are nice and hydrophilic!! Its mainly a new estate. Do these new houses tend to have hydrophilic windows as a heads up?
