if your flowrate is pretty high then rinsing with a bentley brush on is ok, as for alex brushes the best for rinsing brush on would be his monofilament double trim one but me personally much prefer the flocked brush as i feel it cleans better and i rinse with this one brush on and never had any problems

I rinsed off when i had a bentley but after a few months i realised how crap the brush was after going back and checking a 1st clean.  :o
Re-did with a vikan. Much better!
I now use one of alex's superlites (which is what the bentleys were called before he got some good uns) and it is better still.

Washed my van with it once, even with that it was no good. Promptly sold it.

Should have used it as a broom, but hey, somebody paid £10 for it hehe.

Whilst most workers can achieve a very good clean with the Bentley brush and they are very light, they are probably the worst brush on the market for rinsing on. They have the most flocking so as a result will not allow a free flow of water with the bristles in position on the glass.

To get the best out of rinsing on you will need to switch to a mono-filament brush or at least a different flocked brush that has less flocking.

I did my own windows on Sunday, I use a Bently and I rinsed on, and they're perfect!

No problems.

However, I've only had my Bently brush about three-or-four months and it's starting to look a bit scabby with bristles sticking up in places where they should be straight; so I may have to order one of Alex's superlight brushes!

Oi Alex
Thats not fair. I had ONE delivered today with some hose but was not offered two at a discount.
If I ordered another one would you honour that with free postage?

It's not a discount, just free postage over £45.  Yes, we'd send another one out with free postage to you, no problem  :D
