How do those of you that use this brush get on with it on leaded ?
On some types it seems as though it's catch ing the lead .It's not the angle of the brush but the bristle seem to ridgid.
I'm thinking about getting a different brush for houses with lead as i don't trust
the way it catches all the time.
thoughts please ???

Are you using the White (medium) or the Black (soft) Xtreme brush. For leaded windows I would recommend the softer black Xtreme brush.
-
I use a black extreme and it gives a perfect result on leaded windows. In fact I use it on everything now apart from conny roofs.
-
I use the white on leaded with no problems, but I can see how the black would be better.
now just to high jack the thread what super light for cladding cleaning? Alex anyone

We do not have one specifically for this at the moment, although the flocked Super-Lite or the soft Xtreme would both be fine as long as it was not a highly polished delicate surface. The new Radius-Sill soft brush would do a very good job and is soft enough for delicate surfaces.
If it is a very delicate highly polished cladding then a Vikan flocked brush would be the best as these are designed for 'soft' vehicle paintwork.

i find the SL DT flocked brush the best on leaded and the black extreme a close second.i have a white SL DT MONO and it drags quite a bit on leaded so i just use it for conny roofs and fascia/soffit cleaning now.

We do not currently have a 0° degree Xtreme in the pipeline - send me an email on alex@agardiner.co.uk detailing which way 0° is required.
61ft poles should be back with us in 2-3 weeks, but worth checking with the Office as they have the pre-order lists.

I am using the White one. I have tried splaying the brush out by pushing harder on the glass on the lower windows and this does actually reduce the catchy feeling.But i have to be carefull when srubbing the glass.
I know in the desription it says medium and soft bristles but it's called a standard white.I would say that it is not suitable for leaded. The bristles are very ridgid and although a good brush it does seem to feel like it will catch the lead.
-
I have the black one and the white one, the black is better on leaded glass but i think the white one is a better all rounder ;)
-
I think i will go back to my trusted Salmon for the leaded ;D
