Agree with that.

A video would help a lot. Just a quick look at the brushes first as you can't really see what there like from pictures.

If you're online Alex, I've just had a look at my wishlist and it was showing the bundle of x5 brushes as in stock. It's only when you try to checkout that it says 'out of stock'  :P

None of them are in stock currently. Not sure why they would have been showing as 'In Stock' as they are not enabled yet.

Watch out if you order the brush bundle, if you opt for the 90 degree quick-lok socket, it comes out at £8 pr brush  :o  I think there's a ghost in the machine  ;D

Hi Alex,

Just double checking you can order these brushes as a free extra if you purchase a pole?

I couldn't get it in the drop down menu on the extreme 18.

They will be - however it is quite a long process to add them to each pole as an option. I am hoping to start this today.

I have added them as an option on the Xtreme 18 now for you.

I'm out at work now but I just tried to place the order on my phone and I got an out of stock pop up message.

I will try again once I get to my laptop at home though, as it might be a problem on my end.

Many thanks.

Whats difference between soft and soft hybrid? which is best every day brush for cold water, rinsing on glass
Title: Re: ALEX GARDINER !!!!
Post by: Mike55 on March 31, 2015, 01:19:28 pm
Same question as duncan h - but with medium and medium hybrid.... for use on cold water window cleaning
Title: Re: ALEX GARDINER !!!!
Post by: duncan h on March 31, 2015, 01:26:42 pm
this is why I needed a vid ASAP. I am guessing hybrid is better scrubbing power, as it is in other range. What is equivalent to medium mixed?
Is the softest flocked

We will be shooting some videos as soon as we are able - at the moment we are slightly snowed under with brush assembling and fulfilling orders  :)

A video would not actual help you with this question though as the difference between the two is all to do with the feel on the glass not how it looks in action.

The hybrid version of each brush has slightly superior scrubbing and is noticeable in that the centre natural bristles have more drag in use making the brush feel slightly sticky on the glass when scrubbing.

Some clients will like this, some will not. Personally I like the improved cleaning ability on snail trails and similar.

I hope that this helps with the choice.

The main reason for doing the multiple brush bundles is so that clients can try different versions for future reference. With these varieties there will be no substitute for trying them out against each other.

If you are still unsure I would say go for the hybrid version first as it is very good.

Trouble is, out of six brushes I'd probably settle for one as a favourite possibly two. I think I'll wait for a few reviews.

This would really depend on your own preference as both would work well with cold water. In testing we have found that users often preferred a version slightly softer than they usually would use due to the shape of the bristles.

These brushes need very little pressure to scrub well and are very fast on the glass.
