This is a fantastic demonstration of the waxing technique! As a new user of a roto brush, the application of the water and brushing direction seems at opposition with the strict hand brushing from tip to tail but your method works much better. Thank you for posting!
My research suggests that you go tip to tail with the brush rotating so that the bristles push the wax tip to tail as well. Seems to me that the brush rotation is much more important than the direction of travel. Your way does make sense because you are not pushing the brush into the wax debris. I’m interested in other opinions on this?
Thanks for the comment. Bottom line is that this is my preferred technique, try it and see if it works for you. Now to throw a wrench into the gears, I’ve started to use Nanox wax - and their recommended brushing technique goes against conventional wisdom. They call it scrubbing, where with hard pressure on a nylon brush, you would scrub back and forth, and not in one direction. Sidecut has a nanox video on UA-cam that would illustrate this technique better than I can in the comments section. Cheers, and thanks for watching.
Great video, thank you. I have a choice of Soft Nylon, Hard Horse Hair and/or Soft Horse Hair, there's also something called Tampico. For roto brushing some downhill and cross country skis what would you recommend?

Do you use nylon roto brush after wax applied also? Thanks
