Recieved my two new brushes in double quick time as always from gardiner this morning, had a quick play and supreme looks interesting with the new white inner bristles but I’m more intrigued by the xtreme sill soft flocked brush, I’ve always preferred the feel of a soft flocked over medium and hard and I have to say this feels pretty good, looking forward to abusing it!!
Is the widget for the new jets the free gift you get from gardiner now too as I didn’t get a pen like normal lol, not fussed as I’ve got too many anyway but looks like I’m gonna have loads of widgets hanging about😂

The xtreme sill works well with 45 degree carbon gooseneck.
-
The extreme is a very impressive brush

Danke schoen!

When I bought the 'new' extreme the other new Extremes came out the week later! So peed me off a bit as I had no idea that there was other brushes on the way. Gardiner's usually have their new stuff listed in the 'new section' before it comes out as well.

How many rows of Tapertec bristles in the supreme?

I use it with a 55 degree.

Don't know, haven't got one.

I like the look of the new ultimate.
I think the flocked with Tapertec could be a winner too but what are the supremes like on lead when they splay so much? can imagine them getting snagged on the lead a lot.

Xtreme soft is hard to beat, problem is you will be lucky to get a month out of it.

I’d give Daz a day ;D
But I hear he’s trying to be a new man and not pushing the windows through anymore ;D ;D

I think windows over conny roofs etc would be less suited to 55 degree version.

What on Earth is that?
Looks like a micro fibre covered toilet tube!
Looks interesting, what’s its selling point?
-
The new ultimate is on order now, it's hard to keep up with Gardiners, I'll go bankrupt!
It's a good job I have plenty of other brushes to sell to make up for it, even the new Tapertec is now relegated to the "for sale" section. They fetch a good price on eBay if they're not hammered daily.

Isthat the new ultimate DuPont with tapertec bristle you have ordered?
Also what don't you like about the extreme tapertec?

Yes mate, I liked the old version of the ultimate Dupont but it went flat quick. I ordered the new one as the Tapertec bristles are sturdier and will help to stop the brush flattening so quickly.
I do like the new Tapertec bristles, I bought 2 of the new extremes but the wife doesn't "like the look of it" so It's on eBay as new.
I buy so many brushes that I have to sell off the old stock so I don't get overrun, I keep the ones I really like and anything I'm not sure about goes on eBay in bundles. That way the brushes don't really cost me that much so I can swap n change as much as I like.

No what you mean I have loads of new brushes that I havnt used lol
So what are your main brushes you use now.
Mine are the
extreme hybrid 35cm
DuPont extreme 26cm
Extreme sill medium
Also the ultimate flock when need.
What's your thoughts on the new flocked extreme sill?

I love the new flocked extreme, it does get heavy when wet-though but still, a big weight saving with excellent scrubbing power so its a winner for me, keeping that one.
I use mostly the Extreme 14", I've got 1 with a rinse bar and added boars hair, 1 with 4x1.8mm jets which very good and another 1 with 4 black jets but they'll be replaced before long.
I use the 10" hybrid extreme for work that needs more attention and the Tapertec/stiff for bashing stuff out as they glide quickly.
I break out the tucker dual trim now and again but it feels heavy after a few houses.
I think the new ultimate will be a nice in-between weight for regular bashing out regular usage, I also love to get a new brush as it spices my day up a bit.
I do like the look of the new flocked supreme brush with Tapertec bristles in the middle but I'm not too keen on a brush that splays a lot so maybe not...

very similar to myself might try out the extreme flock sill and keep us updated with the new ultimate DuPont Ihave the older ultimate DuPont on my bungalow pole nice brush.

I have been using the new DuPont brush for the past week or so,it cleans well but it’s not what I would call a light brush.
It’s only a fraction lighter than other brushes they’ve done just different bristles,I would like to see all these sized brushes the same in smaller form.
-
Thought they are only supposed to be good up to 30 degrees NWH?

Which Dupont? the superlight at 210 gram? Yeah it's not the lightest brush, its the wife's day in day out brush, she has no issues but then to be fair all her windows are fairly easy to clean, I get stuck with all the hard to reach stuff.
-
It’s the DuPont or very like a tucker brush,not a light brush yeah keeps it shape with hot or had done up till now but like I say it’s not any improvement on weight at all.
