Anybody that might know what this brush is ???
It was bought a fair while ago as an Ultimate stiff , upon looking on the site I can’t match it to anything !!
It has Superlight written on the stock , but it does not seem to splay like the current range of ultimates.
Yet the Ultimate stiff on the site looks more like a Superlite stiff to me !
Any help appreciated, maybe it’s a prototype sent in error ???(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1550944508_E49DFD0A-B4DF-4A49-A537-8F1A92AD02E5.png)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1550944507_C4216471-B7EF-4F6F-8AD9-B600D4F6C7E9.png)

That is an Ultimate Stiff - the early version.
The new version https://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/brushes/ultimate-brushes/the-supreme-medium-brush-2133.html (https://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/brushes/ultimate-brushes/the-supreme-medium-brush-2133.html) is all in red (stock & bristles) and looks slighty fresher than yours!!

Has it changed at all Alex ?
It looks like the bristles are longer and splay a little more ?
It has lasted very well though 🤣
-
I thought the supreme was a different shape to that.

The bristles are the same original length, splay and density as your was when new.
The new formulation red bristles are slightly tougher and longer lasting though.

The Supreme is a different size and shape to the Ultimate brush. It has a smaller rounded-end stock with much wider splaying bristles:

I see on the website the DuPont newish brush is only good with water under 30 degrees do you do that brush that’s suitable with hot Alex.

The Dupont version of the brushes are generally slightly softer so we recommend sticking to under 30°C - most of our brush versions have a stiffer version which can be used with warmer water - https://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/stiff-brushes.html (https://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/stiff-brushes.html)

Now I’m using hot water, I can really recommend the supreme stiff brush from Gardiners.
With hot water it seems to be the perfect combo.

ultimate stiff rich...i think their the best hard wearing lightweight brush for hot water.they are still knackered after 3 or 4 months though,my xtreme brushes are ready for the bin within 3 months if not earlier....how the hell do you get them to last so long?you must just tickle the glass with them! ::)roll ;D
-
They only get an hour a day Daz 🤣
No I think I’m just over careful with my stuff .
I’m the kind of custie Alex hates 😁
-
How the heck do you wear a brush out in 4 months????

Easy - ours are gone in 3 months (Superlite flocked).

it must be the hot water......it kills brushes within a few months mate.....

I have the orange ultimate one on at the moment, a month in and it still looks good.
Ive given up with the extreme brushes, as much as i love them i think they would bankrupt me, im lucky if they last 3 months...that said i have a stiff one on my extreme pole but its only used 3-4 times a day so might get 6 months if im lucky.
-
Wow those brushes look great, loads of life in them (turn them upside down).
I bin mine when they look like Freddie Boswell!
Xtreme stiff for me (behave yourselves) I got bad elbows, not my fault! ;D
However:
I got myself the new Gardiners Supreme soft flocked. This is one seriously good brush. A fraction heavier than the Ultimate, but this thing glides over the glass and eats 'leaded' for breakfast.
Thank you Alex.
P.S. Looking forward to your new Xtreme sill brush...?

Alex, can you put a link on to the website for HOT brushes please?
-
Also Alex , when selling brushes can you offer them with a swivel socket as an option instead of the quicklok? both when buying a brush alone and when adding one to a pole? pretty please .

Done - type hot brushes into the search bar and you will get directed to the hot water brushes page

We could do this, but probably will not at the moment :(
We do try and offer lots of user options when buying our poles and brushes and the list of variables grows steadily. However we also have to balance this with the fact that a lot of our pole/brush buying public are new clients/window cleaners and it can be easy to get confused when there are so many options.
We class the swivel goosenecks and sockets as specialized items so leave them off - especially as within the swivel goosenecks themselves there are 12 different options. We currently feel these are best bought as stand alone items :)
