I got my first batch of V-Pics in the mail today. :)
These things feel so much better in my hand and I haven't even played with one yet. Great service too. It was only two days from placing my order until receiving it.
Thanks Chet, for letting everyone know about these.

I think that's what they suggest but, maybe Dawn would work better. That stuff does get rid of oil and grease very well.

I have yet to order any Vpics but I think in the next week or two I will give them a try. Seen those before like and they have the choices to pick from.

What did Chet's friend Vinni charge to ship them (V-pics) to Australia?

Yes, many of them are only $4. I bought a 4-pick set and they threw in one for free. It cost me $18 total.
