Swix Oval Steel Brush

This brush is designed to be used immediately after you have scraped the excess wax from your ski or snowboard base. Its primary purpose is to clear the wax out of the base structure to ensure your skis glide properly.

Yes, the 0.25mm steel bristles are a standard, versatile choice for alpine racing equipment. They are aggressive enough to effectively clean the structure without damaging the base material when used with proper, controlled pressure.

The ergonomic oval shape is designed to fit naturally in your hand, which gives you better leverage and control as you brush. This shape helps you maintain consistent pressure across the entire base, leading to a more uniform finish.

While the steel brush is excellent for clearing wax from the structure, many tuners follow it with a softer brush, like a horsehair or nylon brush, to polish the base. This secondary step helps achieve a final, high-performance finish.

Absolutely. While it is engineered for alpine racing skis, the brush works perfectly on snowboards as well. The mechanics of clearing wax from the base structure remain the same regardless of the equipment type.
