hi guys just pic up my feedom trolley yesterday and been out with it today. its come with a vikan oval brush and not sure if i like it or if there something better.
Just want to know what u guys would recommend, where u get it and for how much. cheers all clunk..

For me it's vikan but the rectangular one, how many windows do you know that have oval corners? most wfp suppliers, about 25 quid jetted.

cheers tony was thinking that myself may tell pure freedom that too getting into corners was a no go realy

Where are you clunk? I have always used vikan oval but maybe you are near somebody else you can see what they are using.

Ionics multipole brush, Tucker, or Vikan rectangular monofilament.

I like the vikan sill brush.

Very heavy, but gives a great clean and a reasuring splay on the glass.  No complaints from custoners so far.

The only issue I have is that it is flocked.  A monofilament version would be a great tool, with much better scrubbing ability for stubborn muck on sills / frames..

I've got one of those in the van and never used it. I'll have to give it a try.

In use i prefere the flocked vikan even though i've used only the mono one for the last 10 months or so. The mono is a bit stiff for my liking but is far better for not holding onto bits of dirt in the bristles.

The Vikan Sill brush for me, I have tried a few others but always come back to the sill brush!! 

[Spursboy1972]

Well this is becoming common. Groundhog and I in agreement. I have recently been converted to the sill brush. Yes it is heavy but once you get used to it, it is great!

I have both typees flocked and mono filament.

I think too much emphasis is put on the weight of brushes. more often than not we are only talking a few grammes, personaly, a bit of weight to the brush is beneficial in many circumstances. The most important this is getting a brush which suites you & your method of wfp, weight is a secondary concern IMO.

The above comments are generalised & not about cleaning 50ft up with a super-lite 2.

Thats a bit strong. he didnt ask about cleaning 50ft up in the air with a superlight (which I have and use the Bentley brush for). He asked a general question and was given a general answer on my opinion. So I would say to you mac mac, have sex and travel

Hey, hey, calm down, i quoted you as i was agreeing with you about the brush being great but a little heavy, so you chose usability over weight. right?

Tony

I choose whatever gets the job done properly. At most heights that is a sill brush whether it be the flocked or mono one. T 50ft it would be unworkable (shame).

Maybe I mis read you.

I have been trying my sill brush this afternoon after saying I had one but never ever used it.

I can see why people like it, it is heavier though and on one house which has a big sideways stretch that was very noticable. I do like the fact that you have bristles pointing in more than one direction so you don't have to keep adjusting the brush angle. Did a bungalow with leaded windows as well and it was great.

My brush needs different jets otherwise it would go into daily use.
