Star is making some of the finest roto-brushes using exceptionally well chosen bristle lengths and stiffness.
And the 70mm width means you can create your own stack on a 140mm roto-handle.
The Gold nylon is fairly soft, and even at high rotating speed will not create too much heat. This is a versatile brush, great for polishing iron-in glide waxes after scraping and first brushing, and also for finishing liquid glide waxes.
The White Nylon is slightly softer than the Gold but has shorter bristles. Does well polishing all but the hardest hot waxes, but is ideal for liquids and fleece applied blocks.
The Unicorn brush is a very fine horsehair brush. This is the go-to for the first brush after scraping a hot wax application. On a sprint day when top coats become contaminated or need to be lightly removed before adding a different glide wax, this is a top choice to do the work without stripping everything down to the base.
The increasing popularity of very hard base paraffin layers is best taken advantage of with more aggressive roto brushes such as fine steel or bronze/horsehair.
The fine steel is unfortunately very expensive but once you try it you'll have no regrets. This is by far the best brush to use on hot waxes for very cold conditions. It will make short work of those extremely hard glide wax layers, and the bristles are so fine that it can clean the very fine structure on a cold stone grind. VERY IMPORTANT to pay attention to how you install it on a spindle as it is directional. If you have layers of top coats that need to be quickly taken off down to the base, this is the brush you need.
A lower cost option is the bronze/horsehair. Bronze has fine bristles but are softer than steel and prone to excess bending. The horsehair supports the metal bristles to improve durability.
