do most people have the single trim mono? im thinking of getting one and treating myself to a carbon gooseneck. also if you wanted to, is there a way of using normal superlites with the carbon goosenecks?

There is only one trim & filament variant with the Xtreme- single trim mono.
I've got two & the carbon neck (which weighs less than a plastic angle adaptor!) both are superb, although you'll need a quick release end on your pole to use the goosneck. I use the neck when required but use the brush all the time with a plastic angle adaptor. ;)

so it is defo worth buying and the brush really is much better than anyother sl?

i think they have changed the colour of the brush bristles from white to black looking at the website

They have changed the colour to black but they are still mono bristles.
It depends what you want in a brush, some people (unbelievably) still use a vikan sill brush!! :o :o
The Xtreme might not be as good as some on say- first cleans if they're really grubby & you do all the frames etc, but IMO having used many, many different brushes it's the business & I think it's definitely the way forward for regular wfp work! ;) Like Gav just found out, they make even a normal SL feel like a brick! ;D

cant believe the differance
the superlite dual trim is lite
but this brush is unbelieveable
im buying two more ;D ;D

will the extreme brush just screw straight into a plastic angle adapter mate ?
-
if you pay £2.00
for the socket fitted ;D ;D
-
Anyone got fan jets fitted to the extreme and rinsing brush on glass ?, as i think i would like to aspire to this and believe this is as good as it currently gets.
-
pencil jets are fitted but sure
they could be changed easy enuf
honestly this brush will blow you away ;)

i have fan jets fitted in mine, but they do take out a couple of bunches of bristles.
I have noticed with my brush that it malts quite alot and the bristles are starting to get split ends, ive only been using it a week ???

Yes, if you select the fitted thread socket for an extra £2 ;)

lol, i tried one the brush looked similar to how you described
it has too few bristle to be affective
it took twice as long to clean a window than my aerial brush
extreme brush isnt in the aerial brushes class
not by a long way

I've been using one since the start of January. No malting of mine has occurred & it's still all intact & formed correctly. This brush has transformed my work & has cut loads of time off my work. Just last week I did a huge private school, last year it took 4 days (it has outbuildings too) this time it took 2.5 days. The only difference is the Xtreme brush! ;)
All my work, both commercial & domestic I can do easier & faster with the Xtreme brush! ;)
The Aeriel is a brick in comparison! :D

The aerial brush is made better than the xtreme, but the xtreme cleans just as well as the aerial brush, but is so much lighter, that is why i changed from the aerial to xtreme.
I dont know what you were doing with the brush for it not to clean the window properly, did you have the brush the right way around? or is it that you just like to slate gardiners brushes because you have a vested interest in aerial brushes?
Your negativity towards gardiners brushes isnt doing the aerial brush any favors because you are completely biased, but in reality the aerial brush is a very good brush, better than the SL DT mono, im sure more on here would have bought one if you didnt keep banging on how good they are and how rubbish gardiners brushes are, its getting a bit boring now.

I have used the extreme brush and i found it great from the lightweight point of view, however i can see where alex is coming from about the lack of bristle scrubbing power (its a bit like cleaning windows with a toothbrush). I personally think the normal sl mono is a better brush all over and still reasonably light. I mean how light do you lot want a brush to be????? its light enough!
I am thinking of trying the aerial next . . . is it worth getting or should i stick to my sl.

i am in two minds to get.. the SL dual trim with fans... or the new extreme with fans?
wha dya rekon :-\

deffo the xtreme, the bristles on the SL mono are way too stiff, the aerial brush is better than the sl mono

Xtreme with pencils. I personally wouldn't want to be pulling any more bristles out to fit fans.
-
are the bristles nice and soft on the extreme mono?
Lee how you get on with the fan jets are you finding them better tan pencils? the blue 40degree ones

I wish gardiners stuck with the mark 2 sl dual, ive got
1x sl mark 2 dual,
1x extreme
1x sl flocked dual
2x sl mark 3 dual
1x aerial
And the mark 2 dual is by far the best out of all of them as it splays less then the mark 3, dreading the day I have to retire it....
