Slx xtreme or just slx with the extreme brush on the end, you won't believe the difference from a vikan oval.  The slx range is almost constantly out of stock, a bit like iPads or iPhones or anything else really cool and good. As soon as they come in they sell out.

Araldite is good but I doubt you will have any problems, I got 2 poles just over a month ago and I don't think I could remove the clamps even if I wanted.

For carbon fibre poles that lenght there is only two choices to consider either Gardiners SLX range or the Waterfed pole companys elite range. As for brushes, either gardiners superlite/extreme brushes or the teckbuck brush.

Yeah mate, i have some facelift poles. Problem i have with the facelift  poles is that the clamps ,i've found, break very easily. As in snap and you need a new one and they're about £13 a pop plus postage. Then you have to hacksack very carefully around the edge of the broken one, or you can just saw through and lose a few inches of pole. Bought a few of them in the last twelve months. You have to get the from Cleaning warehouse now as they bought all Facelifts stock and presumabley the trading name of Facelift, as they are no more.

best place for glue for Gardiners poles clamps is Polarbrite, ask for Craig he's a top chap, just tell him what you need it for an he'll sort you out.

yeah, i wouldn't knock the facelift carbon pole i'm sure its great for you. But i couldn't see a good reason to buy one now when its heavier and almost double the price of the slx and elite poles and thats why i wouldn;t put them forward as a contender for a which pole is best scenario.
