It occurred to me today that the vast collection of brushes I have are all pretty good at removing five weeks of dust and yet none of them will touch pollen, spider poo, fly poo or even bird poo half of the time. Why aren't brushes designed with a center portion of really vicious bristles - the sort that would scrub your skin off. Why can't it be done?

Tecbuk do a hybrid brush with boars hair in the middle if you fancy a brick on the end of your pole

Drop me an email Dave with what you currently are using. I have several prototype brushes developed which have a variety of different internal bristle types - I would be interested in your feedback.

any of the gardiner stiff bristle brushes are pretty good at scrubbing with hot water.

I've gone back to using a SuperLite Stiff Bristled Brush.

same here just dug an old one out to use, i use superlites all the time but the recent medium mixed one i bought just doesn't seem man enough and wished they hadn't got rid of the scraper edge either that the others had.

I have tried a few brushes but not found one that is good at removing bird poo, pollen spots etc.
Currently using gardiner's medium mixed sill brush which is generally OK.
And no, I do not want to use hot water.

Alex I agree with Dave Willis. The black, inside bristles do need to be considerably stiffer than they are.
Hope you can create something.
Also, see my thread: http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=179599.msg1522513#msg1522513
We need something made for the industry here :)

Carl, I've vastly extended the life of my ezi snap connectors simply by not disconnecting them very often ;D
honestly, they last for yonks.

I can always create something ;) whether it will work or not is another matter. Dave may be able to update you in a few days.
I have taken a look at your other post. The trouble with combined valves and connectors is that they are heavier and do tend to take more abuse. I use a male EZ-Snap on the pole hose and a female on the Microbore with Protecta-Balls on each side. Then I have a light push-fit pole valve about 1.5m up from this connection on the pole hose. I hold this generally so it usually lasts a few years - http://youtu.be/cS51l4oY2mg this works well for me and seems to limit wear on each component.
