Hi there, how do you all deal with black faint scrathes left by brush on sills, loads of my jobs have  them on as took me  awhile to catch on to it, t cut is a favourate im told.

[mark dew]

I've never used tcut. But upvc cleaner takes it off. And those little lines that look like scratches.

[AuRavelling79]

Yep I had this and as you probably know it comes from turning your pole sideways and the brush stock sliding along the cill; also if the rubber seal has perished on some older UPVC windows this can leach out and remain in the scratches.

T- cut and UPVC cleaner look and smell the same to me - I've used UPVC cleaner on my daughters car when she lightly scratched it against the gate and I've used T-cut on cills when I did a "first clean" and had run out of UPVC cleaner.

This has just been brought to my attention by a few customers. Like Gold says above I had been turning a new style vikan oval brush sideways to get under the downstairs openers. I thought it was non-marking but obviously not. I don't think the grit I had picked up helped either.

I've changed to a supalite brush now and try not to tilt the brush.

upvc solvent cleaner does remove it as said. The stuff I had stinks of pear drops though and nearly knocks your head off. My van stinks.
 
Do the supalites mark does anyone know?

[matty72]

they should design brushes with bits of rubber on corners, make are lifes eaiser i would say.

The older vikan brushes had a red rubber rim all round them that left terrible red smears everywhere. We used to cut it off

did it on a couple of mine when i started, still there and wanna remove em, tried some upvc cleaner, but it didnt do a thing, will have a look for alternatives, if not, use some cutting polish like t-cut.

me too Use to stick to the sills when trying to slide the brush over the sills.

[traps7]

yes but the new ones are leaving black lines from the stock. So still no good.

Get a Gardiners Supalite.
