install the fan jets  along side the pencil jets and try them or /and pipe them up so you can use all four

i used pensil jets for 6 years and the one day i went over to fans just to try them out and i have used them ever since. i found i could turn down my flo from 60 to 35 and work faster and now if i had to go back i think i would jack it in all together.

If you wash the shampoo off your car/van off with a hosepipe it comes off lovely. If you missed a bit of mud when washing with shampoo, you put your finger over the end of the hosepipe to inrease pressure ad 'blast' off that bit of mud.  I mistakenly bought fan jets and subsequently love them to bits...they blast through snail trails and green conservataory roofs simply by having more mehanical abrasion, that is provided the flow rate is high, really high so you an see a rainbow when the sun is shining.

That is exactly what i wanted to know! Id of thought the pencil jets would better for that reason, but obviously the other way round ! Useful post!

Dont wanna knock his company tho as his poles are great.But those fanjets should be given out f.o.c. not £8 a pair

I've been converted to fan jets but I've gone through 5 gardiners jets in a couple of months. Only way I  can use jets now is if I get a brush with jets made by some one else  but I really don't want to stop using gardiners sill brush  ???

I used pencil jets at first, only because it came as a package, later gave fans a try because i found out they were better for HYDROPHOBIC GLASS... which most of my custies seem to have ...real pain.
