Ionics multipole brush.

To each his own, but I do not like the autobrush. (Sorry Peter! :) )

I use a trigger mechanism, from a Numatic George wet vac.

I've just started using the vikan sill brush, was a little apprehensive initally, but i must say i do like them compared to the vikan oval brush i used previously.

kris martin:

Tucker brushes are widely held as the best brushes for WFP. Ofcourse not everybody would agree, but having used loads of different brushes I recently converted one to fit a WFP thread ( you may have seen my thread " MY CONVERTED TUCKER WITH PICTURES" ) Anyway it is an amazing brush, Luke

Once upon a time- 11 years ago Tucker (who do have the best range) used to use a Du Pont Tm mono , triangular filament that really scrubbed the glass alas there seems to be nobody that remembers it and its not on their website just wish they would resurect it.
