Title: vikan v extreme wide
Post by: Pope vader on July 17, 2011, 11:23:44 am

i normally use my extreme wide with fan jets for everything,  but i was doing a first clean the other day on a really dirty frame and the extreme wide wouldnt touch it,  but i put a vikan on and it came off very easy,  (it is the green and red flcoked one i think)  so am thinking of getting a new brush  i want something that is as light a extreme wide but with a good cleaning power as the vikan,  what do people suggest, as i was looking at the new sill brush from gardiner but dont know when it will actually be out,  i also want it for every day use,

although i have not used the extreme i remember a previous post about the brushes and i the standard came out a little better,  been using mine almost 3 months now and no complaints at all defo the best brush great all round cleaner and the scraper helps a lot i would'nt dream of using a vikan again

you will have a shaped top edge mate which works a scraper  you flip over brush and it works quite well with caked on bird muck, still needs a bit of a soaking though
