Hi Alex,do you think that using lighter poles still gives good pressure on the glass when working that high and over ?
cheers  ;)

I've been using these type of poles now for 3 years on first cleans and regular maintenance cleans and have never had any problems. I do always use them with a relatively soft bristled brush which needs a minimum of pressure to scrub well.  A lot of the scrubbing power depends on the angle that your pole is at; if you have the pole too vertical, it will make it very difficult to exert enough pressure 50ft up.

We currently clean at 60' every two weeks and have several jobs that require work at 45-50' but we still use the 60' Brodex CF pole as our next size pole is only 35'.

A super lite pole would be nice, but for the number of occasions we use it, at the moment it is not cost effective to buy one and we can handle the CF pole no problem.
