Go down to about 3/4 of the way on the page and check out "Brushing & Rotobrushing"

Brody told us about this site years ago.  Lots of good info.

I have that Tognar site saved in my "favorites" so I refer to it when I have any questions regarding waxing.  Swix also has good info on waxing as well as the different types of brushes.  I have three different types of brushes, all of them made by Swix.  I don't use the stiff bristled brush too much unless I need to get off a bunch of junk from the base before I wax.  I have a steel bristled (cleaning base before applying wax), bronze bristled with nylon bristles around the border (brushing after scraping wax off), and a soft nylon bristled brush (final prep of wax / last step).  I know that I go over board when I wax my boards but it gives me something to do so I don't mind puting in a little extra labor.  I've never used the scotch brite pad, although that's what all my buddies use.  To each their own.  You could probably get by with the steel bristled brush and the soft nylon bristled brush and you'd be just fine.
