Yes I have it and it is bronze.
This is the one I use you, can put a different scrubber material on it.
Nice video Heman. Always appreciate your input. So you made that one or you purchased it somewhere?

Yes I did make it.
You might be able to put the scrubber on the reach around.
That way you could scrub with a large bronze wool pad.
Then water pole it.
Just a suggestion I do not do much WFP work.
Phil Alexander has been wrapping steel wool around his WFP brush when he needs more scrubbing action than a hogs hair brush can deliver for many years. I think I will try that idea with two bronze wool pads. Unravel the pad wrap it around the brush and go to work. I like to keep things simple in my operation. āLess is More.ā KISS
Phil uses hogs hair brushes a lot so I was thinking his idea may not work on a nylon brush because the bristles are farther apart on a nylon brush.
Hereās another way to do it. 
[video]Bronze pad on WFP defeats hydrophobic glass[/video]
OOPs. Letās try that again.
Not when hogshair bristles are wet: they clump together.
Thatās right Larry. Perhaps the nylon brush would be a better choice.
Nice Randy. Thanks for working on that and posting the video. Thatās the same brush I was thinking about putting it on, but I would definitely poke holes big enough for the regular pencil jet flow to shoot through the bronze wool, so I could rinse after scrubbing. Iām definitely going to check out that Jflint Xtra reach pad.
Some guys over in the UK are saying the bronze wool doesnāt seem to work for them (changing the glass from phobic to phillic), anyone else had this on the US side? Or does it work on every window?
Karl- I havenāt yet used the bronze wool in this application yet, but will definitely post my results with the WCR community. I checked with Alex and the WCR store doesnāt have the āJflint X-tra Reach Gold cleaning padā, which is bronze wool, in the store right now, so I had to call up Jeff with JFlint and order one from him. Iām going to poke holes in mine so I can make sure my water flows through the pad, for rinsing. But Iāll try to do mutliple windows at multiple locations so we can make sure it works and isnāt a fluke. I hope it does work in all cases, because dealing with Hydrophobic glass has been the achilles heel of WFP for me since I started.
It has not worked on every window for me
The main issue with a bronze brush cover would be the lack of bristles to get into the corners. However a hybrid style brush (like the tucker) with a bronze block in the center and nylon bristles along the exterior of the bush would be awesome. Especially with first time cleans.
