anybody using a bentley brush and rinse with brush on glass, i use a bentley and always rinse off, just wondered how you found it, also of the 3 gardiner supalight brushes which is best for rinsing on,
-
i use bentley and rince on most of the time
-
i use bently rinsing on with no problems
also viking , but a bit heavy
-
if your flowrate is pretty high then rinsing with a bentley brush on is ok, as for alex brushes the best for rinsing brush on would be his monofilament double trim one but me personally much prefer the flocked brush as i feel it cleans better and i rinse with this one brush on and never had any problems
-
Do people still use them brushes then lol. ;D
-
cheers i'll give me bentley a go rinsing on then see if it will sort me backache out ta
-
I rinsed off when i had a bentley but after a few months i realised how crap the brush was after going back and checking a 1st clean. :o
Re-did with a vikan. Much better!
I now use one of alex's superlites (which is what the bentleys were called before he got some good uns) and it is better still.

Washed my van with it once, even with that it was no good. Promptly sold it.
Should have used it as a broom, but hey, somebody paid £10 for it hehe.

Whilst most workers can achieve a very good clean with the Bentley brush and they are very light, they are probably the worst brush on the market for rinsing on. They have the most flocking so as a result will not allow a free flow of water with the bristles in position on the glass.
To get the best out of rinsing on you will need to switch to a mono-filament brush or at least a different flocked brush that has less flocking.

I did my own windows on Sunday, I use a Bently and I rinsed on, and they're perfect!
No problems.
However, I've only had my Bently brush about three-or-four months and it's starting to look a bit scabby with bristles sticking up in places where they should be straight; so I may have to order one of Alex's superlight brushes!

Oi Alex
Thats not fair. I had ONE delivered today with some hose but was not offered two at a discount.
If I ordered another one would you honour that with free postage?

It's not a discount, just free postage over £45. Yes, we'd send another one out with free postage to you, no problem :D

Go on then!
Please email me the cost of the brush and I will see if I can find a few other bits to make it over £45.00 With two teenage daughters on holiday this week, your killing me man!

the problem with bentley brushes is that custys recognize them straight away as a sweeping brush,

Do they?
-
yes, every house wive has them, even i have 2 sweeping brushes that are bentley in my house, lol
-
I have used both the Bentley flocked and monofilement, the latter looking worse for wear after I washed it in water that was too hot.
there are loads of cheap brushes out there that can give excellent results, far better than the Vykan I started off with.
-
i cud biy 47.84278 brushs for tha at asda ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
i think vikan are the best brushes out there, ok slightly heavy, but not that bad, you would think a company like that would be on the ball to make it much lighter

Gardiners have.
-
what, vikan lighter brushes you mean,
-
The new flocked superlite brush and if i do say so myself had i not niggled Alex for days on end it probobly wouldn`t have come to light,this brush does everything and more than the vikan does but weighs about 1/3 of it you hardly feel it on the pole.
-
yes i have got to get one yet, the feed back is very good,
