LRF4N Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 came across this ad in a newspaper, thought id have a look at the website to see if it was just a gimmick or if it was the real deal. i got a lot of caked on brake dust etc on my wheels i dunno if this would loosen it all off for me. has any1 heard of it or used it? heres their website http://www.sonicscrubber.co.uk/product.php?id=1 Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted May 25, 2009 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
Chris`I Posted May 26, 2009 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
srobrien Posted May 26, 2009 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
jim Posted May 26, 2009 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
3FIDDYZ Posted May 26, 2009 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

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
3FIDDYZ Posted May 26, 2009 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
