I prefer the Brazilian.
Got a dupont Ultimate in the garage brand new. I must stick it on Ebay when I think of it.
I like the flocked Xtreme sill brush so much I can’t see myself ever changing.

Before moving in with his girlfriend Dazmond used to sleep with his extreme poles but to do the same with a brush is just sick. lol

I've got a flocked Xtreme Sill that's now just a normal Xtreme if you want to swap it?😁

IMO the ultimate is the best all round, day to day brush of them all. It eats through spiders nests etc and covers more surface area than the Xtreme- which results in more efficient cleaning for a very minimal  trade off in weight. Xtremes, I find, are good for extreme situations but for normal day to day stuff just don't cut it quite enough. Get a spiders nest in the corner of a lower sash window and you can be there for ages trying to hook it out- if you can get it out at all. The medium Ultimate whips them out for fun. I also believe that the Ultimate could still shave some weight off even further too... if Alex put his mind to it.👍 As much as I might wish the Xtreme to be as effective as the Ultimate, the reality is, it just isn't. The flocked and softer ones aren't stable either IMO, the stiff sill version with the lowest (red) bristle row removed is quite good but the extended stock ends prevent the bristles getting into the corners- especially on lower sash windows.

What is the point of an Ultimate ? it is roughly the same weight as an supreme with half the splay, worst brush ever.

Be careful with the stiff xtreme and cold water. I found after the winter storms the bristles were just too stiff and merely tracked through the film instead of removing it.

Exactly in the Autumn and winter this is what I’ve said about the stiffer brushes and cold water,it looks clean from the ground but when you go in they look like someone’s run their fingernails through the dirt with patches left.
The supreme DuPont feels lighter on the pole than the Ultimate DuPont and I’ve found this bristle type to clean the best hot or cold.

How is the supreme DuPont with hot water though?

I’ve been using gardiners stiff supreme for years with hot water, but they’ve recently changed to the all red bristles and Im just finding them too stiff.

I’ve just used it on a house with very hot water,it does keep shape and pushes flat but springs back at the mo.
You can only use it on certain windows I find it’s better on plain glass with no bars but works ok with hot water on modern leads only,no good on thicker leads.

I could never get on with the supreme brushes. I bought three as a bundled package when they first come out, tried all three and disliked all of them. They are at the back of the shed burried away somewhere in mint condition, hardly used, would never use them again. Should find them out and sell them on ebay.

I've now modified my new Xtreme stiff sill a little further....in addition to removing the red (lowest row) of bristles, I have also removed the over-extended stock ends, which restrict the bristles from effectively getting into corners- particularly on windows with sash horns. It's pretty much now how I would want it and have a full day of said windows tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.👍

I’m old skool. It says only compatible with the jet capsule system. I’ve only ever used brushes with the original connections and pencil jets. What is this system and what would I need as well as the brush to get started?

Didn’t think I’d like it but I do the pencil type capsule works exactly the same as standard jets,the tool they supply to take jets out to change for fans etc  is easy to use just twist and pull the jets out and pop the others in simple.
Makes the brushes more versatile if you like using fans for weatherboard wash downs etc like I do,once I’ve finished takes a couple of seconds to just pop the pencil jets back in. 👍

All you need is your finger to hit the buy button.  ;D

It comes with everything you need. 👍

They are old skool as far as how they shoot the water out the brush you’d never know otherwise,the good thing is with a few seconds you’ve got fans if you need-want them.
