This is how hand brushes work

Hand brushes are one of the most important tools in ski waxing. They are used to clean the base, brush out the structure after waxing, and polish the surface for maximum glide. The choice of brush and the order in which you use them affects both glide and durability.

Different types of hand brushes

  • Steel brush – used before waxing to open the structure and remove dirt. Can also be used after scraping hard waxes.
  • Brass brush – all-round for cleaning and opening the base, often before the first waxing.
  • Horsehair brush – used both for removal and for fine finishing and polishing.
  • Nylon brush – standard for final finish, removes residues and provides a shiny surface.

How to use hand brushes

  1. Start with a coarse brush (steel or brass) to clean and open the base.
  2. After scraping off excess wax: use a horsehair brush to bring out the glide.
  3. Finish with a nylon brush for the final polish and a shiny base.

Tips for best results

  • Brush in the ski's glide direction – from tip to tail.
  • Use long, even strokes to avoid uneven finish.
  • Have separate brushes for different waxes if you compete, to avoid contamination.

FAQ – Common questions about hand brushes

Do I need several different brushes?
Yes, different materials serve different purposes – from coarse cleaning to final finish.

Can I manage with just a nylon brush?
For simpler liquid waxing, yes. But for best results, at least one coarse (steel/brass), a horsehair, and a nylon are recommended.

How long does a hand brush last?
With proper care, several years. Clean the brush regularly and store it dry.

Which brush should I choose as a recreational skier?
A nylon brush is often sufficient. Complement with brass for better cleaning.

Here you will find our guide to different brushes.
