Those ones off eBay are shyte, they're not greenglides and not even worth £50 apparently.  Can't remember who it was, I think someone bought one and said they are just normal plastic rather than teflon?

I just got myself a genuine greenglide for my westpak wand, it is MILES better than the rip-off teflon glide I had on it previously.  Well worth the money

Charles, derek is always up for a bit of bartering. If you ask nicely, you might get it for £200.

As for genuine greenglides, from what I've read that's a bit of a bone of contention? (Court cases etc)

I've tried 2 different glides on my wand from Alltec and neither of them fit it. I would wait until Alltec can supply you with one, at least they'll provide the correct one :)

Use this company all the time,well since Olympic cleaning closed,just ordered a new K valve,less than half the price of others I have seen

I have one of these and it's OK. Mine's white though, this colour looks awful.

Overall I think I prefer the wand with this rather than without. Although I haven't carried out a direct comparison I do think t speeds drying up slightly and it certainly makes wanding easier on the back.

I have siliconed mine onto my Alltec wand with no problems.

I got one too for my Alltec wand, I had to send the glide back though as it just wouldn't fit :(

I soaked mine in boiling water for a good few minutes then picked it straight out (not being Superman I wore gloves, but these are optional for true hardcases) and slid it on.

The first time I used it I didn't like it as it gives less feedback (a bit like power-steering in the old days) so I took it off during the job.

I gave it another go a while later but this time siliconed all around it so not to lose suction. I stuck with it and now I'm used to it I'll keep it on. As said, it makes wanding so much easier and I am sure speeds up drying.
