vicar internal kit

What does everyone think of the vikan internal kit? Been using it off and on over the last year and mostly don't get great results just end up chucking it back in the van and getting the trad kit out

The vicar's internal kit is probably something you should be aksing the catholic choir boys about. This is a window cleaning forum.

Some people say the Vikan Easy Shine kit is terrible.
But I disagree, I have one and I believe it is a useful tool to have.
I use it for inside awkward to reach windows and it makes life a lot easier.
I have an office I clean outside fortnightly and inside every 4 weeks, and there are a couple of inside windows that are very awkward to reach due to a photocopier being in the way and another (a large window) with a large desk right in front.
The Vikan is perfect in this situation, the windows are never filthy and the Easy Shine cleans them to a decent standard that I and the paying customer are happy with.
All the other windows are cleaned with a mop and squeegee.
So im not saying I would use it for all inside window cleaning but for the odd couple of awkward windows I am happy with it.

Count yourself lucky I bought a Dragonfly at £350 plus pole, my god they seen me coming that day.
A Vikan Easyshine head at £30 and a pole adaptor at a few quid would do the same job.
Very hard to get a smear free finish with them but there might be occasions when you will have no choice
but to use one, so handy to have in your toolbox.

I do find it useful for hard to reach spots but just find it tends to leave smears in some places, just wondering if it's sum thing I'm doing. Glad it didn't cost me 350 anyway  :o
thanks for the feedback
