Gardiners flocked brush
« on: January 24, 2009, 07:59:56 pm »
i recieved one of these today and i have got to say it is the best brush i have ever used bar none. (i have tried a load of brushes) up to now i have been using the non flocked version which was good but this new one has all the bristles you would want and cuts through everything - dogs muddy paw prints on doors, dried on plant matter (that usually needs scraping) and it literally glides over leads , thank you Mr and Mrs Gardiner you have made me very happy with this perfect brush ....... ps im not on commision ;D 8)

To be fair to NWH, it was his constant nagging that led us to bring out a flocked version of the Super-Lite.  Without his incessant whining and whinging we wouldn't have bothered  :P.  I still prefer the mono-filament dual trim but a lot of my subcontractors reckon the flocked is their all time favourite.

ive had mine for a while and will be ordering a couple more soon,best brush IMO,
the non flocked is good but doesnt seem to have as much scrubbing power but does cut in to the corners butter

also when you bring out a longer version i will have a couple of those also  ;)

 i find it really good for rinsing on the only job it struggled on was a one of clean that hadnt been done for five years and was full of cobwebs and i think any brush woud of got clogged in these circumstances so would of needed rinsing brush off.

I have a superlight mono dual trim and I think it is the best brush I have ever used.

However, it is only two weeks old and bristles are already falling out. Also, the jets are two different sizes. Is that normal? I think one is a 2mm and the other is a 1.5mm. Not certain on the sizes but they are certainly different.

Sounds bizarre!  Can you email me your actual name so that I can look your records up on Monday and sort this out?  We don't actually do a 1.5mm jet so I'm quite puzzled.

 i dont think they will and in all honesty if a product is selling well and there is a demand for it then it is good business to get a high price for the goods, if i thought they where a total rip of i wouldnt buy them but they are priced at a level in line with other wfp brushes and although expensive they are a really good product.
  the only time prices come down is when a product gets coppied we have seen this with wfp systems now they are a fraction of what they cost years ago.
  
  besides if alex starts lowering his prices he will ruin his reputation of being a tight arse, rumour has it that he squeeks when he walks  and mrs G has to lubricate him regularly with their PTFE spray to stop him seizing up totally.  ;D ;D

The flocked superlight is the best brush ive used by a countrymile.

The only moan i would have is come on alex bring a bigger version out so i dont have to stick that monster vikan on the end of me pole when i need a bigger brush.

Hi Alex

I am not certain on the sizes but you can tell when you turn the brush to point skywards. One jet pushed the water up to about 3 foot while the other is only about 1.5 foot. When I saw that I looked down the jet and could see it was a different diameter. I didn't notice it myself, it was a guy working with me for a few days that actually pointed it out. It's not that big a deal, I am more concerned with the bristles falling out.

Will email you the details.

Hi there,

I know this has probbly been asked before but could some one tell me what the difference between these three brushes is as I thought that the mono filiment was the one to rinse on the glass with and the flocked you had to rinse off with :-\

Manythanks
