How brushes work during waxing
Brushes are used both before and after waxing to clean the base, open the ski's structure, and polish to create a shiny, fast surface. The right combination of brushes provides better glide, longer durability, and a professional finish.
Different types of brushes
- Steel brush – used before waxing to open the structure and remove dirt. Can also be used lightly after scraping hard waxes.
- Brass brush – all-around brush for cleaning and pre-brushing before waxing.
- Horsehair brush – standard brush for after-polishing and final finish.
- Nylon brush – for fine finish and maximum shine on racing skis.
- Rotary brushes – used with a drill for faster and more even brushing of multiple pairs of skis.
How to brush your skis
- Always brush in the ski's glide direction – from tip to tail.
- Start with a coarse brush (steel or brass) for cleaning.
- After scraping: use a horsehair brush to bring out the glide.
- Finish with a nylon brush for a shiny and fast surface.
Tips for best results
- Use separate brushes for different types of wax to avoid contamination.
- Clean the brushes regularly – old wax residues reduce effectiveness.
- Store the brushes dry and protected from dirt.
- Rotary brushes are effective but should be used with a protective cover and caution.
FAQ – common questions about brushes
Do I need multiple brushes?
Yes, at least two – one for cleaning (brass/steel) and one for finish (nylon/horsehair). For best results: three steps – coarse, medium, and fine.
Can I brush too hard?
Yes, especially with a steel brush. Work calmly and with light pressure – the brush should do the job, not the force.
Are rotary brushes better than hand brushes?
They are faster and provide more even results for many pairs of skis, but require caution and the right speed.
How long do brushes last?
With proper care, for several years. Clean them regularly and avoid letting them get damp or dirty.
