Hand brush 2.5 tempered steel - Angled wires - Black nylon containment loop
ARC Hand Brush 2.5 Hardened Steel / Nylon Brush – The professional brush for clean structures and maximum wax absorption
To be fast in racing, you need to be as precise when brushing as you are when waxing your skis. The ARC Hand Brush 2.5 Hardened Steel / Nylon Brush combines the cleaning power of a hardened steel brush with the advantages of an integrated nylon brush. The result is a highly efficient ski brush that exposes base structures, removes wax residue, and works more precisely than a pure steel brush.
Based on our experience in racing and World Cup service, this brush is one of the most useful tools for ambitious skiers, coaches, and service technicians. It offers exactly the aggressiveness needed for a clean structure without unnecessarily stressing the base. Especially with regularly prepared race skis, the difference is clear. The structure remains open, wax absorption improves, and the ski develops more glide potential.

Why this ski brush is particularly effective in racing
Many skiers use separate brushes for cleaning and opening the structure.
The ARC 2.5 efficiently combines both steps.
Advantages at a glance
- reliably opens closed structures
- removes old wax residue
- works more precisely than pure steel brushes
- optimizes wax absorption
- shortens the service process
- ideal for regular race service
Especially with modern race skis featuring fine grind structures, this combination offers noticeable advantages.
More speed through a clean structure
In racing, speed is often determined not just by the wax, but by how well the structure can perform.
A closed structure cannot drain water as well and reduces gliding performance.
You can feel it directly on snow
- faster acceleration
- better glide in changing conditions
- smoother skiing at higher speeds
- more efficient wax absorption
- more consistent performance throughout the entire ski day
The ARC brush creates exactly the conditions needed for high-quality race waxes.

Buying guide from World Cup service
Many recreational skiers opt for simple nylon brushes.
For occasional service, this is often sufficient.
However, those who use high-quality race waxes or train regularly need a brush that truly exposes the structure.
This is exactly where the ARC 2.5 excels.
The great advantage lies in the combination of aggressive cleaning and controlled processing. This makes it ideal for skiers who want to prepare their own skis to race level.
Processing instructions
How to properly use the ARC steel/nylon brush

- Then finish with a finer brush or horsehair brush
Pro Tip
Before waxing, the brush is excellent for opening the structure. After scraping, it removes excess wax residue particularly efficiently.
