Description
Swix brushes are designed for brushing wax out of the structures (base patterns) in ski bases and snowboards after you have used the acrylic scraper: Should be used in one direction, from tip to tail. You can't have a tune kit without one of these being in there. It's amazing how well this helps the water shed and keep your skis from sucking to the snow. Makes the wax get into your base better to so it lasts longer.
