Swix Fiberlene Ski Wax Cleaning Towel

Fiberlene is primarily used during the 'hot scrape' process. By placing the paper between your iron and the ski base, it absorbs excess wax and pulls out dirt and impurities from the base structure, leaving a cleaner surface that requires less manual scraping.

Yes, the material is fully compatible with both skis and snowboards. Its high-tensile strength makes it durable enough to handle the wider surface area of a snowboard without tearing.

It doesn't replace brushing entirely, but it significantly reduces the workload. By absorbing the bulk of the excess wax during the hot application, you will find that you have much less material to remove with your scrapers and brushes afterward.

This is a single-use fibrous paper. Because it is designed to absorb and trap dirt and old wax, you should discard the used section after each pass to ensure you aren't re-contaminating your base.

No, the material is specifically engineered to be non-abrasive. It is safe to use on all types of ski and snowboard bases, including sintered and extruded bases, provided you keep the iron moving.
