I must admit I have found the brush surprisingly good, I had low expectations because of the weight, but it is the best brush I have used by a long way. The scraper at the top is a pretty good idea, obviously not as good as a metal scraper but better than nothing at all and it seems to do the job.

I used my extreme brush for 2 days and went back to super light.

I just couldn't get on with it, It seemed too floppy for me, I would have liked to have seen another 1-2 rows of bristles crammed onto the same stock.

If anyone wants it for £15 inc p&p email me at daveswindowcleaning@hotmail.com

It's a shame cos I usually love Gardiners products :(

I've got, or had every normal superlite brush in the range. I've had almost every Vikan brush too. I've had the Pro-window, unger, facelift, cleantech, salmon the lot!

I can't use anything else but the Xtreme standard (white) now. Last week I went back to the SL DT flocked 0 degree, it lasted about 5 minutes- OVERKILL!

Razor style brushes are the future of WFP- watch this space! ;)

I've got the black Xtreme and it's a damn good brush. However, I'm finding that the bristles seem to fray quite quickly (I've only had it a couple of months) to the point it's like a flocked brush and storing wee bits of dirt within the bristles which leave marks behind on the windows. I'm wondering if the white version is better as it appears to use stiffer bristles, which I'm assuming are more resilient.

super lite dual trim flocked is gardiners best brush IMO.the  supalite extreme is ok.its just a bit too thin on the bristles.i tend to bang the stock on the frames more often.

i also think its harder to clean the sills effectively with the extreme.again its easier to knock/scratch the sills.maybe im just heavy handed but i prefer the normal supalites.

it all comes down to personal preference really.the normal SL is still a very light brush but with better and more bristles.
