Nwh are you using the soft or medium ultimate brush?
-

Have you also been given the new Compact brush to trial. If so which is best?
What puts me of the ultimate is that I really do not rate the sl range highly (not as good as xline), so is it any better than a supelight - apart from being lighter?
-
Don't compare this new brush to the others the only thing that's the same is that it says Gardiners in it.
-
The one available now is only one in the range there will be a very very good flocked brush which is a must have for all polers great on old leads superb on new leads first cleans and normal PVC Windows. I'm not trying to sell them to you but ideally you will have use for all of the new ultimates you will then have a brush for all your work including a brush which is light that can be used for Facias guttering and soffit cleaning,there the best I've used to date.
-
So, ultimately, what do you think has made them 100% better?
-
They are lighter than the first SL's you will feel it straight away on the pole,they are the ideal weight for pressure on a window there is no folding flat even with hot water. They eliminate the need for a heavier brush which you feel you need to give a deep clean the brush literally does the work,a slight push on the pole gets it to splay. You won't get the feel of a wet mop on the end of a pole the bristle tension is perfect IMO they are not as light as an extreme but they are not omg they are way heavier they are a perfect in between weight that you can use all day without straining yourself,honestly when you've tried all the new ultimates you won't bother to shop about anymore.
-
Yes but what's changed?
Bristles? Stock? Splay?
-
I received the brush today it seems very nice and light with lots of bristles I will take a few pictures tomorrow and a quick video
-

No !!
I got the medium mixed, so not as soft as the soft supreme brush.
Its so light though :)
My first brush was a medium mixed and lasted me months with no complaints
-
Same stock better bristles more of them very good quality it will last longer is it'll take longer to kill it,the others to follow are superb.
-
I don't think Alex will mind but I have been trailing 3 brushes and they are easily the best brushes to date.
Light. Fast and so far touch wood look just like new after weeks of use.
I can't make my mind up on which one to use.
One brush (if it comes to market) will upset the apple cart ;)
No pics or videos from me as they are prototypes (I did ask)
The medium/soft is like a neon but MUCH MUCH MUCH better.

NWH, have you been trialling these brushes?
-
;D obviously.
-
I switched to the Xlines some time ago. They are very good at holding their shape and are packed with bristles. However, I had a filthy job yesterday and not all the dust was removed. I went back over them with a softer brush with more splay.
At the moment I'm thinking softer brushes clean better.
Probably change my mind again next week ;D
-
Yes I have I haven't come on here to deliberately put you out of business DD don't worry.
-
For me it's weight.
180grams is spot on for regular cleans. I had a go on a neon and it looked like it had been used to clean the pavement. 2 weeks old he said.
He gonna do the hot water trick to fix it. You shouldn't have todo that after 2 weeks ::)roll
Sill brush for new builds - 3/4 story and sash = perfect.
Ultimate for everything else now. I suppose it's what the extreme should have been but then the extreme is called that because it's so light.
-
hi guys im just waiting to order the soft flocked ultimate as i use the supreme flocked as my preferred brush but im wondering is it better than the supreme in your opinions and why?
-
The new flocked brush will be perfect for you if you like the flocked supreme.
-
cheers pal, i noticed that new ultimate is a medium soft rather than just a medium, ive been thinking lately if theres a brush thats just a tad more stronger than the soft but not as strong as a medium so i might try this medium soft too!
-
I don't think the one for sale now is a flocked.
-
no its not pal but gardiner advertise it as a medium soft rather than just a medium so wonder if its a tad softer than a medium, hope so as it could be perfect for my liking, i love the softness of the soft or the soft flocked and the splay but sometimes i'd like a bit more stiffness of a medium ::)roll
