EXTREME BRUSH USERS
« on: July 07, 2011, 04:45:05 pm »
Has in the words of Harry Hill
"Which ones best"?

Waiting for a new 35 slx and going to try the carbon Gooseneck.
I use a SL DT Flocked on my 18 slx and use a SL Mono Single trim on my 30 slx. (for rinsing on)

I know it's a preference thing, just wondered what's most popular and why.

Cheers!

i prefer the white, the black feels too soft, but the white is the best allrounder, its also good for first cleans as well

I've got both & the white one is my favourite, it will do everything & like lightening! ;)

The black one is quite a bit softer & I use it on delicate glass.

Black works well for me - I like the way it allows me to move across from one pane to the next - ie. it just rides over the frame as though it isn't there -  also excellent on leaded windows.

This is what seems very important to me. I use the standard black flocked dual trim(is there really anything better?) but i have the standard white dual trim which has stiffer bristles and i find it flicks and splashes water about meaning i end up rinsing adjacent window panes again in case i have just re-contaminated them.

             So can anyone tell me if the white extreme has  softer bristles than the standard white?

I have the extreme black. If you want my advise, if you are in any way heavy handed give the extreme black (only one i have used) a miss. I have done 65 jobs with mine and it is ready for the bin. One side of the brush is destroyed, the bristles are all over the place and I have to poke one jet about 1000 times a day because the bristles are so warped they are constanly fouling the jet.

The white Xtreme is quite a bit softer in feel than the standard white Super-Lite brushes.

Hi David

If you feel that this brush has not performed as it should, please drop me an email on alex@agardiner.co.uk with a couple of photos and I can look into it for you.

David, I had the same problem with my black one, but it was one of the first ones and may had been a "bad" one, but I now use the White extreme and it's brilliant, after a couple of months use it's still looking great and will last along time.

I have both and they are good but for me they dont beat the cleaning power of the super light dual trim flocked, this is still the best wfp brush out there imo.

I feel the extream brushes dont have enough scrubbing power or bristle contact due to the splay. I think they need a few rows of shorter bristles in between to achieve this.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
