thanks for the reply @windowswashed do you use hot water ? im going to order the 14 inch ultra lite and high flow hose and will order the rocker at a later date .

Don't use hot or cold, just warmish shifts the pidgeon  grafitti, seagulls grafitti easy to shift, wish someone would shoot the pidgeons, too many around just lately!

On the subject of brushes, i saw a video the other week advertsing a new smaller brush for fsg cleans, I ordered it, not cheap for what it is, and it came, god its small at only 5 inches but used it the other day and it was brilliant for the intricate cleaning of a fsg clean and also stupidly light which is handy when cleaning at some angles. the jets were also really powerful again which helped.

It was from cleanlynk and the brush is called a micro brush. Honestly, ive only used it once but it was brilliant.

Be grateful! The pigeons keep you in a job!😆

I'm sure most customers wouldn't have their windows cleaned regularly if it wasn't for bird muck and bird strikes
price higher/work harder!

well used the extreem 35cm flocked today.   It is a lot heavier     putting more stress on your lower back.    It made my round finish at 2pm instead of 3pm.     So saved me 1 hour .     More better rinsing with 4 jets.     Thought id use a lot more water but with you working quicker theres not much difference.    Over all im glad of it as on bigger bi fold doors  its so easier now with its coverage of the glass

I use the 35cm xtreme sill brushes for most work these days with 4 x 1.4mm jets. They have short bristles and I find them pretty good for maintenance cleans. I use either the stiff or flocked versions. I've scratched quite a few upper sills using the standard extremes so these are great.

I also use a supreme sometimes which is good for hooking out spider eggs in the corner of frames

At least 50% of my work is sash and case windows and Xtremes can't get into the corners to hook the spiders nests out. 🥴

Nah, the new ones with stiff out bristles are great for this!

My personal choice are the Reach-it brushes, the ultra lites my favourite

Tried a constructor once then it went straight on ebay, love the concept but find them hard  work and heavy.

How do you get on with top frames?

What would you say are the outweighing benefits of this brush?

This is the worst one of the lot for me. Those stiffer corner bristles make no difference at all. In fact, I think they make it worse! The stock design for the Xtreme brushes is completely wrong IMO. The very first, original Xtreme was much better. An oval stock might be a better idea for this brush.
