I use a salmon brush with fan jets.

You don't have to lift off the glass when rinsing.

But the one thing that you cant do with the salmon is scrub of bird poo easilly :'(

With the vikan brush you can scrub a lot harder. (my oppinion)

Swings and roundabouts really.

If I was you I would go for anothe vikan or take a look at the new facelift brush. It's about £55.


I used to swear by pencil jets but have now changed to fan jets and wouldn't go back.

You get a better rinse with fan jets.

The Vikan brush, although it holds onto a lot of 'bits', is the best brush out there, in our opinion.

Using the Gaz (monofilament) brush has proven to have many defects.

Wash the brush everyday in warm water + W/Up liquid, rinse, then rinse again in pure water and you cant go wrong.

For guttering and cladding, etc, you're best off using the Vikan.
