I am going nuts here? How is a Vikan sill brush an option for someone asking for a light brush recomendation? Its about as heavy as they come.

Superlite dual trim semi flocked 0 degree (the original superlite) Absolute superb LIGHT brush.



If you're a real LIGHT fan then the superlite Xtreme, this is what I'm using just now & love it!


I've used all the vikans, lovely bristle action just too heavy, big & bulky! ;)

I would go with my first option above. This is probably the closest to a rectangular flocked Vikan but without the weight, as there are quite a few different Superlites to chose from. ;)

I agree the aerial brush is your only option
its the only sill brush that is light weight
its also the best window cleaning brush for maintenace cleans, very very fast
and you have the choice of using a real brush scraper and the brush stock
you can also rotate the brush head for balconies
and its the best value for money brush you can buy

Alex - good to see the price has dropped a little bit.


will try one on these when my superlites need replacing, just a shame they don't answer emails  :-[

try asking a question through ebay
if your having no luck with emails

they are even better value now
i would replace it straight the way, they are fast brushes
and will save a lot of time
keep your superlight for a back up

i got a black supalite dual trim  flocked with my CLX and i hated it at first then after a few days i realised what a superb brush it is!it just took a few days to get used to it!its great for leaded and georgian windows as well as there is much less "drag" than mono brushes and they are VERY LIGHT!!this is my main brush for maintenance cleans.


i have a vikan rectangle mono on my 25ft hydra and its a great brush but its like a brick!!its ok for a few commercial jobs and 2nd floor windows esp if its a bit windy but its not used regularly day in/day out!!

i use a stiff vikan sill brush for dirty conny roofs/fascias and i have a brodex 12in which just gets used for washing the van! ;D ;D

 i also have 2 supalite monos.one splayed terribly after 2 weeks so i got sent a replacement.the replacement is just a spare at the moment.



regards
