I must be the only one in the whole world who doesn't like it lol.

I found it left far too many bits on the glass that a dual trim Gardiner would take off.

The bristles are too soft for my style of cleaning.

They are fast. Coz they splay out and miss most stuff.

Wouldn't remove bee spots at all. Bird poo was hard as well.

Maybe it's me ;D

I like mine - haven't taken them off even on my 44' pole. I used to faff about changing brushes for leaded, first cleans, single pane glass etc. Just use the one brush these days.

I didn't like the x line either. I prefer a brush that feels softer on the glass and the felt too solid on the glass, I'm loving the supreme flocked now, it is a one brush does all brush.

The X lines soften up after a bit of use Lee.

Which brush do you find removes bee spots and bird poo with ease. I still have not found one.

The flocked sill xline is an absolute beast of a brush. I originally bought it for f/s/g cleaning but its been my main brush for the last few days. It covers such a big area of the glass and obliterates dirt so easily..

Iv got 3 different xlines and there all great brushes in there own right, can't fault them. The best thing for sure though is how well they keep there shape no matter how aggressive you are with them.

None, until i get complaints about them. They just stay on the glass.

I decide a while ago to just stick with gardeners, I came to this decision after buying two poles a Phoenix carbon x and a slx last January, the Phoenix I not absolutely broken it spun on every clamp after about a month and the carbon just wore down so quickly, the slx I haven't even tightened the clamps yet
