Description
This Glide fits all 12″ low profile 4 jet Westpak (and Sapphire private labeled versions) wands, both steel and titanium made before mid 2015. The difference being that the lips are much thicker on these older wands, see photos
Measure the metal lips before ordering this Glide to determine if you need the older “external” fit or the newer “internal fit” option,

Slot Glides– The best choice for dirtier carpet that has debris in or on it and for cleaners who prefer some resistance or grab at the carpet to wand interface. Also, our Slots have recessed bridges so there are no lines left in the carpet when the glide is new. As the face of the Glide wears down the bridges can be recessed again with a knife, razor or Dremel tool. FYI, 80% of our Glide sales are Slots.
Hole Glides- The easiest to push and the best choice for cleaners with back pain, elbow, wrist, and shoulder issues and for those wanting the quickest dry times. Holes are also great for cleaning area rugs on location as the rug won’t lift up as you clean the edges and corners. Optimum for wool carpet and rugs. Dry soil removal prior to wet extraction is a must in most cases. The best choice for portable extractors too!
Hybrid Glides- Fits in between the two above, easier (some say much easier) to push than a Slot but dries slower than a Hole. Wands with large vacuum chambers such as Evolutions, SharpShooters, AW29s and the PMF Mach 12 &15 perform noticeably better with a Hybrid. Some debris can be extracted through the slot portion of the vacuum pattern, unlike our Hole pattern, but dry extraction is still recommended. This style leaves lines on some pile types and may need to be groomed after cleaning

I have this westpak wand. I bought it because I needed a 2 inch wand bit it was terrible to use. Wanted to lock down on the carpet and chattered badly on some commercial. I was at a Mikey’s fest in Phoenix and was introduced to greenglides. They seemed expensive at the time but I ended up winning 2 glides. One of those was for my westpak and it turned it from a pos to a very useful wand. Still one of my favorites today. Glides easily and the carpets dry much faster. So much easier on my back and shoulders. I wish I had greenglides years ago.

I have tried many different glides in the past. Bristor’s glide, which is made by a very poor quality material that just wore out and cracked in a very short time.. Banana glides from mytee that would not fit the wand properly, kept falling off and always had to glue on… Once I started using green glides I never had another issue ever again…. They are a perfect fit to my wand, and the longevity is the best in the industry…. Because of how well they fit the recovery and dry times are the best of any glide out there. There is not a better glide out there on the market that even comes close to what green glides can do… Worth every penny
