Swix Nylon Brush

This brush is designed specifically for the final polishing stage of ski and snowboard tuning. Its fine bristles are ideal for working liquid waxes into the base structure to create a smooth, glossy finish that maximizes glide.

While it is optimized for liquid gliders, you can certainly use it for polishing after hot waxing. It works best as the final step after you have already scraped and structured the base.

The 0.12 mm bristle diameter is fine enough to polish the base without damaging the structure you have already created. It provides just enough stiffness to buff the wax into the pores while remaining gentle on the base material.

The rectangular design is actually intended to improve stability. It provides a larger, ergonomic surface area that makes it easier to maintain consistent pressure across the entire length of the ski or snowboard.

Yes, it is good practice to keep your brushes clean to prevent wax buildup from contaminating future applications. You can gently tap the brush against a hard surface to remove loose debris or use a specialized brush cleaner if the bristles become heavily saturated.
