I have a facelift carbon pole. The first 2 sections have warn thin,so not clamping.
Does anyone know if you can get clamps that allow for this?if so which ones

Many thanks

Gardiners clamps won't fit facelift poles. You could go in Halfords and get some bicycle seat clamps and use them as pole clamps.

Have you tried contacting Window Cleaning Warehouse as I thought they produce and sold the Facelift gear?
Surely they sell clamp replacements for the poles they sell 
Good luck.

Sorry, think I didn't read your post well enough.
You could build up the thin section of pole by using a thin layer of epoxy resin. I've done this on my Gardiner pole. Only needs a very thin layer. I'd imagine it's worn by where it clamps?

Bicycle (adjustable) seat clamps work on any worn poles that can't be tightened any more  with the factory fitted clamps owing to wear and tear in frequent clamping positions.
Have recently bought a small extreme pole with the stainless steel clamping points and might try replicating this idea on some worn SLX poles that have had the original clamps replaced with the self adjusting ones which have now almost had their day as they are adjusted to the last threads of the bolts. If I wrap some one millimetre or thinner shimming around the worn sections and glue them in place to see if they rejuvenate almost knackered poles, worth a try.

If you dismantle the clamp and run some electrical tape around the four grips and then put the clamp back together. This helps tighten the clamp without over screwing.
Alternatively, dismantle pole sections and spray silicon lunrication onto poles and allow to dry. Build up two or three layers and this will also help.
