He's back , the fountain of knowledge

wimpro you have obviously been sniffing that glue that gardiners send you out every week . otherwise you would know that the vikan 12 inch is by far the best brush for all ground , first and second floor windows. any higher then you have a point .

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

In layman's terms- the Vikan is the Horse & Cart & the Xtreme the Ferrari.

That about sums you up winproclean, 'Layman Terms' means 'You' don't have a specialised understanding of the subject

And some Vikan brushes do clean faster than the xtreme brush

If you know anything about the Italians or Italy and what they think of style and design you would'nt have even compared the exteme brush with anything Italian which has more in common with a £2.99 from the supermarket

If you do want to compare the equivalent window cleaning brush with a Ferrari then its the Aerial Brush, its been in a trade show in Italy and a couple of brushes even left in a Ferrari

 

Hi Richard

For the benefit of anyone reading-

Alex. is Richard, who happens to manufacture & sell the Aerial brush!  Before he was Alex. he was Ewan. As Ewan, he researched the market for his brush which IMO is an over-priced, over-splayed, nothing other than a "tweaked" vikan!

Myself, I have no assosiation with any manufacturer or product but only 7.5 years of wfp experience.

If you are serious about wfp & want an easier & more productive day, then IMO you should discount anything Vikan (even at ground level!). As for the Aerial? try it, according to it's creator (Alex.) it will even wash the dishes at the end of the day!

I have a shed full of Vikans at my disposal, they gather dust apart from one, which I clean my van with!

Unfortunately for Alex. His knowledge is very limited!

I have the best pole on the market which is the gardiners 25ft extreme pole. Its amazing to use! for me brush wise , vikans do clean very well and last well, however I couldn't possibly use a vikan on my extreme pole  it would ruin it! I am stillot sure about the extreme brush either? cleans well but it looks to fragile and it splays to much for my liking. The only brushes I have used that I really like are......

1. Gardiners new cill brush medium dt white . Really good brush.
2. Gardiners dt flocked black brush.
3. The dt black brushes that ionics do are good brushes too. 

[james51174]

dunno about the best brush...tbh i quite like the unger sill brushes...but i can only compare to the ionics brush i have...and its so stiff that its awful....flicks water everywhere!!!!

Thanks for your comments , and the laughs Boom Boom (Basil Brush)
 I`ve had the Vikan to Heavy , Tucker Brush , it quality , but comes at a price , and the pole weighs a lot , Brodex , for me have the best brush , sprays on the rinse ,and saves on a limited tank of water , sadly i dropped it and it snapped in two ,, photos can be supplied .....
 Any way , Googled the nearest WFP company to me ,, and I think i got a result ,, bought it on Friday , not put it through its paces yet , but with holes drilled through the brush for weight reduction I might be on to a winner ,, will share with all , once i have used it , and know what I`m talking about .

Win Pro - I can tell you that the Aerial brush is far better than the gardiners SL Dual trim Mono by far - other than being slightly heavier.  it is a very, very good brush -  ONLY to be spoilt (if true) that Alex and Ewan are in fact Richard from Tecbuk - if this can be proven i would NEVER buy another item from this company

Vikans are so last century - very out of date compared with other makes of brush

Well, he is!

No doubt it's a decent brush & will suite some people (not me). The trouble is, he's way, way, way, way, way over-hyped it to the stage where people are struggling to believe anything that comes out of his mouth now!

When a good product hits the streets it's usually splattered all over the forums. The aerial gets mentioned every blue moon as a decent brush but nothing like Alex/Ewan/Richard proclaims it to be. His usual defence is that it's the user who isn't good enough to use it to it's full potential. This information is from various forums over the last 12 months or so.

Amongst other factors there is a VERY good chance that the weight of the brush on the end of your pole will decide when you retire incapacitated.

Best bristles = Vikan without a doubt.
Best brushes = Gardiners extremes. I prefer the soft black but it won't last like a Vikan however, my body will last a bit longer.

Ariel Brush - I'll never know because I have been put off by the idiot who posts about them and his underhand way of attacking Gardiners. For all I know it might be ok but was way overpriced when it came out and is smaller than Gardiners brushes.

I got my SL DT flocked back today!i left it on a commercial job on friday and another domestic customer of mine  picked it up and left it at my dads friends house!well happy.best brush for regular maintenance window cleaning IMO.

[jouk45]

the vikan brush in my opinion has been king for many years, and i am just surprised the company never picked up on it in the wfp industry, but alex of gardiners did  his new sill brush it really is less than half the weight, it does have less bristles, but are still positioned for cleaning the glass and sills simutaniously, i use it regular now with no stress on my neck or shoulders, i dont think any other brush can compete with it as i know of, in all the years i have been wfp, the radius sill is heaven,you wont understand until you have one,

[Scrimmer73]

Jouk45 , can you supply a link to what you speak so highly of please ,, I think i want one , to at least try
Thank you in adavance

[Scrimmer73]

I bought an elite 25 from The Water Fed Pole Co  on friday ,   and so far so good ,,
Its a Hybrid ,a  super light brush  ,,
