been using gardeners brushes for the last 6/7 years ..just looking for a recomendation for another brush for the slx pole...something still lightish  that scrubbs better..cheers gents!

[P @ F]

What are you using at the moment ?

[trevor povey]

supa light mixed bristles..

[P @ F]

I would be inclined if going from superlite to try either Ultimate or Supreme .

The Ultimate is the lighter of the two but has more compact bristles  which dont splay as well as what you have now , I am looking to try the Supreme next but not sure about the jump up in weight .

At the moment I use Extreme stiff and love it as its so light , if I go Supreme now im gonna feel it !

was looking at an alternative to gardeners ....bumped into a couple of lads in leeds they was convinced the x line brushes were best theyve used ..just poaching about see if theres owt else out there at the minute

supa light mixed bristles..

wow!ive not used one of these for years due to the weight!i similar brush would be an ultimate mixed bristle(but a hell of a lot lighter!)id go for the ultimate trevor....you wont go back to weight of the SL after getting used to the ultimate....

the x line brushes are no better mate than the supa lites.similar durability and scrubbing power IMO....

how long are you getting out of your current SL brushes trevor?i find they are the most hardwearing that gardiners do but too heavy for my liking so  the ultimate brushes are a great compromise between weight and longevity....

[P @ F]

Dont come to Plymouth for inspiration mate , half the knuckle draggers down here still have Vikans

I think the only options for me now are to stick with Extreme or try the Ultimate medium , the Ultimate i have now is stiff so causing it to splay less .
Failing that i would try the supreme , just not sure on bristle type or weight , what is your opinion Daz ?
Doesnt have to be for hot use only

i mainly use the stiff versions of the xtreme and ultimate brushes rich.....the supremes are narrower(like a sill brush).i personally didnt like them as they splayed too much for my liking but you might like them!

I have used supreme before and found it the best before moving to 35cm.  Wish there was a supreme 35cm.

Found it the best for scrubbing.  The amount of plastic is reduced to bring down weight and replaced with more bristle.  Bristles are much longer like the superlight meaning its spray is excellent covering a lot more glass. I always disliked the ultimate and extreme due to its short bristles and I found the plastic base more prone to clashing around on deep frames or cills

Have been told gardeners are discontinuing the supreme which is a big big  shame

None at all

As everybody cleans diffent

out of the five staff we have they all like diffent brushes so your going to have to buy them all and stick with the one that's you like it's the only way to be sure

[P @ F]

I think if i could make my own brush it would have the bristles of a superlite put into the stock of an Extreme
A true allrounder for my work that would be

Is that not the Supreme brush then 

[P @ F]

The Supreme would be way heavier than what my creation would be , its all in the stock

The trouble is we are spoilt for choice .
I remember 13 years ago , these were my optional extras at the main dealer .
Cant believe i still have them 

 

[P @ F]

This is an old Superlite i butchered to see how light i could get it , listed on site as 260g , my attempt was 200 but im not sure if the 260 is with quik loc on it !

Maybe i will butcher my old Ultimate next !

[P @ F]
