Can't remember the superpoope being much cheaper time you add vat into it.
I paid about £46 for this brush from rs and with that you get the scraper etc
ate=1297190102]
i have to admit that they do look well made compared to the SL, the stock on the SL bows slightly and you can see the bristles coming through the back of the stock, but that has no effect on the cleaning ability, so the tecbuk brush does look very well made, but that does seem to be reflected in the price  :(

Tecbuc are i think doing themselves a slight misjustice here,

only the 1st brush is going to set you back £50 as you get an angle adaptor small extension and scraper ( not sure
if thats really required ) however you can get a replacement brush head for £25.00 - thats right in the ball park
to challenge on price..

prehaps an intro  offer is in order ??

This for me is a big issue on the xtra long xtreme SL brush. Because of the bow in the stock I feel I have to press much harder to get the bristles on either end on the brush to come into contact with the glass at enough force to actually clean the glass. Of course the middle of the brush is rammed onto the glass at this stage.

is the extreme made out of the same material ?

if its bowed could you not apply some pressure to the ends so it curves the other way ??
then the ends would come into contact first,  if the extreme is bowed thats quite poor ..

its not the extreme, its a standard SL DT mono, it was a shop demo i got cheep from gardiners, but its slightly bowed, have tried forcing it the other way but no joy, i might try warming it up and bend it then, see if it works.

Red brush

How good are they?
i've just ordered one,can't wait to try it out,can dump my superlite once and for all.
i have a vikan sill on my clx18 perfect brush.
i will put my aeriel brush on my clx 27 cant wait!



which one did you order



very good, thats the one i would have recommend to get
as lee gls said in his post
your customers windows dont need a lot of work to get them clean
what lee gls dosent realise is the aerial brush can does this much quicker
just dont waste time over cleaning windows
get into the habit of moving straight on to the next one
you will save a lot of water, good if you are using a trolley

I have this sussed now,i might even make a little hypnotherapy tape to play while i`m asleep.

I buy the ariel brush,its fast so i become fast,its got to be  good as it costs so much,i dont even know why its fast or what its made of,this doesn`t matter because now i`m fast,the price has become irrelevant,i`ll buy two, i might be twice as fast,one on top of the other,one pass cleaning,i`m smitten,will i go red or black?,black filaments 3 times thicker,maybe its 3 times faster than the red one,how fast is that then? and special window cleaning filaments stuck in a special window cleaning resiny stock,if i`m lucky this will have "Worlds Greatest Fastest Window Cleaner" written on it and then other people not just me will know what i have become,i must have this brush,Alex is the messiah.

lighten up mate, its just a brush that cost £25
its not a big decision like buying a new van or even a new carbon fibre pole

the aerial brush is much quiker to clean
but if you in the habit of over cleaning a window
dont bother buying one
you might as well get a £5 brush from the super market

Alex, the aerial brush looks narrower than the gardiners brush, are they any smaller?

Also what is the dirt retention like, are they ok for rinsing on the glass?

You can get a brush stock for appx £25 but its £42.43 to get in the club by buying a complete brush first and thats the cheapest red brush,are the black ones faster/better?

Now i am currently definitely in the habit of overcleaning windows but if i can do it faster then surely i need this brush,in fact my need is greater.

I think the Ariel is a superb brush, I love the way it splays downwards to do the sills.
The superlite is a superb brush too. With either of these brushes the glass gets cleaned right up to the edge  even when your doing the frame, so no need to clean the glass separately.
