Switched from a standard wire brush to a poly brush on heavy creosote jobs last month

Used to spend 20 minutes scraping off that shiny stage 3 stuff with a wire brush and now a poly brush knocks it down in half the time on this old masonry chimney in St. Paul I just did, anyone else made that swap and seen a big difference?

First chimney I used a poly brush on was a rental property that had years of buildup and I cut my time almost in half. Just gotta keep it moving steady or it'll glaze over and make it worse.

Learned real fast to not slow down on the stroke or you're just polishing that creosote into a mirror.

Oh yeah that glaze is a nightmare, I learned the hard way to keep the brush moving fast and steady.
