It's a Superlight surely? A  Superlight with shorter bristles.

Not sure about it yet, seems better on snail trails and seems to be the first Gardiners brush that is properly flocked. I have a flocked Supreme and a soft Supreme and you need a microscope to tell them apart.

I'm not a massive fan of flocked brushes, considerably heavier when wet IMO.

I've recently started using a gardiner fully flocked sill brush. Seems ok to me but still lacks a wee bit of scrubbing power if I'm honest. It also flattens more than my liking when using hot water too but maybe I might get use to it over time who knows.

The reason why I bought it was to try it out with soap/chems on FSG cleans etc as holds in more to apply and scrub the plastic as there are more bristles on flocked sill than mono type stiff dt sill brushes I would normally use.

Is this the ultimate that's good all round - leaded aswell?  Or is it the medium soft ultimate  ???

Tried the soft ultimate and went straight back to xline. Every other brush feels so flimsy compared to the xline.
Getting the flocked ultimate free with a pole iv just ordered but will stick it on one of my old poles that are going on eBay. Might boost the sale value up a little.

Ultimate flocked. All the bristles the same length. I've bought it with leaded windows in mind. I've got to stop trying all these brushes - it's madness  ;D
Alex's fault.

I'm really liking the flocked ultimate. It is still early days though. I'm finding it need less pressure on the glass to work well.
My main reason for trying it though is the number of leaded houses I'm now cleaning. I find the mono bristles, even soft ones can very easily lift the lead if you're not careful, especially on older ones.
