I was told be Gardiners that they use more water! I fancied trying these out too, I have pencils, narrow ones too, which do job well enough, just fancied trying fan to see if rinsed off better.

Yes they will fit on the wide xtreme.

Usually fanjets will use less water.

Don't they protrude from the brush? do they pose a risk of scratching glass.

They stick out only 4mm from the stock surface and are made from non-scratch Teflon so are completely scratch free.

Will they scratch plastic?

No they will not due to the design and the material.

Will give them a shot, I'm very impressed with the super max 50 i have just acquired. So light and manageable.

No, the difference between Alex and us is that he solved the problem before he knew one existed.  ;D ;D ;D

He can truely be called the god of the window cleaners fraternity.

why is there a £4 postage on the fan jets when they are not much bigger than a peanut?!?!?

If you call them to order them, they will send them for £2 via royal mail, their online system automatically generates the postage cost and won't reduce it.

The website calculates postage based on product value. We have just introduced the £4 bracket for items between £9.98 and £20.00. (Previously all items above £10 went out via the standard £7.75 FedEx charge)  This means that all items in this bracket go out via insured next day FedEx for just £4.  If you would rather that they went out via royal mail this can be arranged. Obviously we would rather items went via a traceable insured service as it helps prevent problems for our clients. It is very simple to arrange otherwise though if you ring up.
