More window cleaners brushes on cars - more work for highly paid (£200+) & profitable paint restorations ;D


Window cleaners equipment for window cleaners - car valeting equipment for car valeting- It's not rocket science!

Vikan WFP brushes were originally designed for cleaning cars. I have used mine plenty of times have and not scratched a car yet. If you use a local car wash you will find a brush to soap and clean your car with before you pressure clean it off. I have never heard of anybody needing the paint restored after using one! I use waterless car cleaning products as well. My customers get what they want. No complaints so far.

Hi John.

Yes, they are easy to use. If you follow the simple instructions you would have very little problems if any. The products might initially seem expensive to buy but when you get used to using them they are very cost effective. If you want to know more about suppliers etc. let me know and I will email you.

I'm aware of vikan brushes, but never ever ever would I use one on a customers paintwork, due to the micro scratches they cause to the paintwork - more commonly known as swirl marks ( sponges and bad technique/products also cause them) http://www.meguiars.com/faq/index.cfm?faqCat=Swirl%20Marks&faqQuestionID=57&section=_57#_57

Brushes may well be available at the local jetwash - However one of the reasons why people use a valeting company is so that their car gets looked after properly rather than with a brush. ::)

You may not know of people who's paintwork has been damaged by brushes/car washes/ high volume hand car washes as most people are not aware that anything can be done about it until they are educated about it. ;)

Cheers

Phil
