La Petite Brush The La Petite brush is excellent for detailing and highlighting your project. It features a short unfinished wooden handle, ergonomically shaped for the effortless application of finishing coats of wax, clear coat, or stains on painted surfaces. The bristles are tapered with soft edges that come to a point to assist with working wax into intricate, detailed areas and tight corners with paint or wax. Clean with warm water and soap.
