Brushes.................again!!
« on: October 19, 2015, 10:26:01 pm »
Just thought I'd share  ;D

What with the extra glide using Vision or GG4, I thought I'd try the Tecbuk 38% boars hair brush out. I'd tried the 17% boars hair brush earlier in the year and thought it the best brush so far for removing slug trails, etc. 
Got to say, this brush makes mincemeat out of slug trails, spider webs and bee poop! Very happy with it. Slight bit of drag in use but that pleasing feeling which says, " I'm removing lots of crud".
Still haven't tried the Xline.

Please explain how a brush can be gliding over the glass and scrubbing it at the same time, its a bit
like saying an aquaplaning car tyre has great grip on the road.

I imagine it would be similar to wiping your arse with cling film.
I've not tried it and I'm in no hurry to find out either. :)

I can't, but the results are excellent.
The boars hair brush makes quick work of the mess.  :D

Doesn't matter what brush you have snail trails have to be scrubbed end of,some brushes might be better but you still need to scrub them. A flocked brush like that feels like a heavy sponge full of water to

Never used one myself but was aware that the new lighter stock had issues with them bending out of shape so put me off trying tecbuk brushes to be honest. Has this issue been resolved now?

I’ve no idea how many where sold but a few where complaining about the stock bending out of shape issue.
The guy that makes and sells them went off the radar when people started complaining awhile back. That is why I asked the question is has this issue been resolved.

I've not had a problem with the bendy stock. It seems strong enough to me.  I know slug trails need scrubbing, but with some brushes it took an age or felt like a proper work out just on one pane! ;D
There £48 + postage roughly. I know it's expensive but I missed my old tecbuk.
Like Kempy, I wouldn't mind trying the Xline.

The hybrid tecbuck is the best brush out there imo .... Xline is a good brush but just a tad too heavy on my extreme but still a quality brush so it's an xline for my slx and the King tecbuck hybrid for my extreme ... I also use the full red aerial brush on clean monthly maintenance Windows ....

Alright, thanks. 
Yeah, those boars hairs do some serious scrubbing. Anybody tried the full boar?  :o

X line for me at the moment. I wouldn't send my money to the Tecbook bloke no matter how good the brushes were - he was a complete idiot on here years ago.
