Hi all,
Who else uses the Salmon blue bristle brush (same as peter fogwills autobrush) ??
This brush is not actually designed for window cleaning - it is marketed as a food hygene brush - but been using them for the past year or so now and boy do i think this is the best brush to use with fan jets rinsing on the glass.
The bristles are not very stiff either, making it very easy to work with at awkward angles, and the results are excellent.
Better than any WFP designed brush IMO

Hi Colt
Which wfp designed brushes do you refer to?
I've used various salmons, they're ok, some of them. No more than "ok" though IMO

Where are you picking these brushes up from?
I wouldn't mind trying one.

I have been using these for about 5 yrs now. Too tight to buy anything else lol ;D The last ones i got cost about £8.00 each then just mod them .

You can buy them direct from Peter fogwill, or the Hill Brush co.
Better and physically easier to use than any gardiners or vikan brush, the Salmon Prowindow, or these overpriced Aeriel brushes.
As the bristles have little resistance this can compensate for any flex you have in your pole also.
Bristles are a crinkled plastic so there is no water retention in them so they are so easy to rinse on the glass without spotting even with all the tips of the bristles on the glass.
Just make sure you fit the fan jets correctly spaced and in the right place - just below the top row of bristles so you need to remove that row of bristles except for the cluster at each end.
Why oh why WFP brush designers dont understand this i dont know.

Oh yeah the weight including tubing and 2 x Lumark fan jets is only 340g.

opinion means little its your judgement that counts
use the brush that you can work the quickest with
dosent matter if it cost £5 or £50
the brush i use is going to save me several weeks and more over the year
which is going to pay for enough brushes for the next 10 years ::)

I used the autobrush for a while, I really liked the brush itself but thought the auto switch was pretty mediocre. I emailed peter after i had a fan blow out and get lost, that i would like a brush off him either just fitted with fans and no auto switch, or a bare brush. Never heard anything back off him. I too believe that how he has the fans set along the second row is the way to do it for rinsing on glass.

If this is the one its £36, I would assume there would be postage on top. They are pretty good, But not that good ???

anyone know how much peter fogwell sells them for?
