Made for the Featherlight a year ago, 15" 6.7oz/190gm large flat surface area means more vertical scrubbing power without pressure.
 
hmm seems I cannot/blocked post the pic, no idea why

Bristles are just micro bristles on foam, as you go higher the angle of attack to the glass changes (like a ladder sag) so you need a "brush" that works vertically face on.

Hi Thomas,ya don`t have to stick with brushes anyway.It`s only my opinion and
There will be plenty members `shoot me down` on this.I saw Jeff Brimbles `flat
Pad` set up at the Blackpool trade show.Unbelievably lightweight with 4 micro
Irrigation jets.It is d.i.y like the the `SqueeGeeMate` pad set up I use nearly daily.
Bentley brushes are good,even though they are flocked bristle.In general,I find
That brushes can be overrated.To eliminate any `spotting` just lift the tool off the
Glass and rinse.Gravity fall just takes over.

Jim, email sent, I suspect you need a one off brush for a high application with more scrubbing power than the fine bristled one in the pic , the info is all in the diy forum but it will take time for you to get up to speed.
It may be more cost effective and less time wasting for you if I made you a  "special" one off, hand made answer-  a variation of the picture, for say £45.
