Vickan Brushes
« on: May 11, 2006, 01:54:55 pm »
Just want your views on Vikan Brushes as i have heard that they are not very good and leave spots.
Which brushes do you think are the better ones?
I have a gardiner pole so i would like it to fit on there.
thanks all

Hi Scrim,

Bought a pole from Gardiners a couple of weeks ago, with Vikan brush. NO problems with either.

don't be a nunce. Get one of gaza's brushes. You'll find posts on this site. Put the vikan in the bin or use for your car. It'll be the best thing you ever do.

Hi Jeff,

The Jetted Vikan weighs in at about 435g, we have however just done a deal with a major brush manufacturer for a lightweight brush and this will weigh about 185g.

On the subject of what is the best brush, we have used Vikan for 5 years now and have never found spotting to be a problem.

We have tried Gaz's type of brush the Salmon brushes and have found them harder acheive a decent scrub of the window pane, but many swear by them.

The fact is that you will usually get used to whatever you have been using, and a decent WFP'er will usually be able to get a top class finish with most brushes.

Any idea when it will be ready?

Is this to replace the Vikan brushes that you supply or in addition?

Price?

Cheers

Thank you Alex.
 Generally if you trim say an inch off the bristle length of any brush it will increase the scrubbing power dramatically, go to 1/2 inch bristles and it will "remove paint" so you can recycle your brushes for minging jobs.
I use me wifes elec. razor ? :)

Hi Jouk,

we can supply Vikan brushes with a swivel on them, I must get around to putting them on the website as we have them in stock.
