3FIDDYZ Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Got one, love it, great for the engine bay and polishing too.... Oh and if you have a robert dyas near you they are selling the replacement heads for about £5 I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I would vote gimmick as to the sonic bit, but as a little scrubber, it could be quite useful as Mark has found. Cant see it alone will shift brake dust, but will help when used with the right products I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I got a sonic toothbrush and it works wonders on the old gnashers....so might be worth a punt for £15, my toothbrush was £160 R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I picked up one of these in Halfords the other day as part of their three for two deal. Tried it briefly on the alloys and seemed pretty good! Will give it a proper test next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 As long as the brake dust is "fresh" then it will get it off, if its old on chromed rims, NO chance!!! Used it on the Range wheels the other day and they came up lovely and they hadnt been cleaned for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it on the Range wheels the other day and they came up lovely and they hadnt been cleaned for ages How 'fresh' we talking???? I think this could be handy for some bits and bobs especially on the workhorse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 couple of days but not longer than a week i suppose on Zed wheels! Esp if your using something like bilberry on them first.. Best use I have found for it is for getting engine cleaner into the engine bay before washing it down... good little aggitator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
