Ultimate Tapertec, Nice balance between weight and cleaning power.

I like the dupont supreme. It cleans reasonably well and the extra splay is quite good for cleaning sills.
Unfortunately the only way to really find out is to try several brushes for yourself.
If I find a brush I like I stick with it a good while to avoid buying another brush. The last brush I bought (the supreme) was about 18 months ago.

i like the supreme stiff brush...its great with hot water and for flicking spiders nests out of the corners of frames....i also use standard xtreme stiff brushes for lots of work with awkward windows,sometimes a SL flocked too for delicate wooden/leaded windows or a dirty first clean....
you will get 30 different answers on this thread.....brushes are a personal thing.......i use a variety....ive even got a 35cm ultimate 4 jet brush for a regular artwork clean i do on a main road....

I use a 35cm Ultimate tapertec, whenever I have to change to the 26cm brush it feels like I’m using a toothbrush 😁
-
35cm extreme
-
Ultimate medium brush lite but lasts my favourite one was stiff Ultimate but they stopped making it :(
-
X line sill, the rinse bar is a joy to use.

That reminds me I need to get some more sand and cement for a wall I’m gonna build out of Xline brushes.

You'll build a better wall with these.

My missus uses these brushes as her everyday brush.

Cleaning windows is a science, it’s an art, poetry in motion, rocket science, precision engineering all rolled in to one; which is why I use a superdoopperwooferslimlinehypertechylightystiffywiffy . Unless I’m doing leaded windows then I use a broom.

👌 correct I’m just in the middle of writing a song about a couple of blokes I’ve got a crush on.

The best advice is try a few different ones, then stick with the one you like best.
It’s all down to personal preference, you can’t go by other peoples opinions.

I dont know why people have multiple brushes.
Whether its maintenance, first cleans, connys or fsg etc i want the lightest possible brush.
So for me its the extreme for everything... i use the stiff version as it lasts much longer then the medium one.

Especially NHW 's opinions. :)

DuPont wide Extreme x1 + the smaller version
Flocked wide Extreme x1+the smaller version
These 4 brushes are adequate to clean any window we are now at the stage in the life of WFP that we have almost perfect brushes,if you have those 4 in the van with nothing else you would never be stuck.

Tried most Gardiners brushes over the years and even the first brushes (Vikan) Andrew McCann delivered with the first gen trolleys. They all worked.
Currently using 35cm Superlite sill with 2x1.4mm jets outside and 2x100 deg fans middle..why? Just trying something different .... the only thing that gives me the most confidence is flow.
*on uk style double glazed glass I use 35cm Superlite (non sill) with 2x1.4mm jets outside and 2x100 deg. Most glazed units here are wooden and have deep frames so sill brushes work best and prevent frame damage.
Over the years I have tried many 'colouring in patterns' and tbh most have worked...having a 'structure' I find helps as from time to time I find I get into a 'loop' where I end up doing the same bit of glass.
Run a 45cm brush (soft) for solar panels....again plenty of flow.
Think the best brush is the one your used to with plenty of flow, just replace with bigger lighter and a little more flow :)
