Post by: outdoor restore on January 16, 2011, 03:18:07 pm: I have the clx 18' with the dual trim non flocked brush, my daughter uses this all day long and loves it. I still use the xtel hybrid 25' or so with the same brush which seems a bit stiffer than the clx but that may just be the different lengths, when I next upgrade this one it will be with a clx 22' (the 18' is a bit short for across some cons). I love the shorter closed length of the clx. If there isn't a lot of diff in price I would definitely go with the clx (Brush choice I think is personal pref. I have the flocked gardiners which I don't really get on with) and used an old vikan (which I hadn't used for months) on a first clean the other day and loved it, but still think for all day maintenance cleans the gardiners are best

Very very light and is all you need for domestics.

Post by: Nameless Drudge on January 16, 2011, 03:44:23 pm: I got a clx 22 and then got the extra section to make it the clx27 as i struggled for a bit extra length more than occasionally with awkward dormers and velux skylights etc. Mainly its used at shorter length and so i dont use the flimsiest top end section much,extending the section below it instead.Still trialling brushes but havn`t taken off the supalite dual trim 15 degree splay(its black,would prefer white) since i started using it.

I would say a 25ft carbon fibre pole
unless you like changing poles more often
Aerial brush without doubt the best brush ever made for window cleaning
it has a double edge scraper that does come in handy
and it can clean sills, making it the only light weight sill brush

go on their site promotional page for offers
£39 get the brush/scraper
£6 get the angle crank and short extension

http://www.wfp-brush.co.uk/promotions

all for about the same price the cheaper made gardiners brush
which arnt better than a vikan :P
