Swix Wax Brush

Oval brushes are designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, providing better leverage and control when applying pressure. This ergonomic shape makes it easier to work the brush across the base without fatigue during longer tuning sessions.

Yes, different bristles serve specific stages of the tuning process. Steel and bronze brushes are aggressive enough to clean the base structure and open pores before waxing, while softer horsehair and nylon brushes are essential for polishing and removing excess wax to ensure a smooth, fast finish.

It is best to avoid this. Using a brush that has been used to remove wax for polishing can re-deposit wax residue back onto the base. We recommend keeping separate brushes for the initial cleaning phase and the final polishing phase to maintain optimal glide.

Always start with the most aggressive brush, such as steel or coarse bronze, to clean the base structure and open the pores. Progress to finer brushes like nylon or horsehair as you move through your waxing steps, finishing with the softest brush to polish the base.

Use long, consistent strokes from tip to tail, applying moderate pressure. Avoid scrubbing back and forth in one spot, as this can create friction heat that may damage the base or unevenly remove wax.
