1. Base preparation wax gets a brand-new ski ready for its first time on snow.
2. Glide wax is used on skating skis, and on the tip and tail areas of classic skis.
3. Kick wax is used only on the 'kick zone' (under the boot/binding) of a classic ski.
Glide wax and 'base prep' wax are applied hot using a ski waxing iron.
(Warning: Do not apply base prep or glide wax to the kick zone of a classic ski.)
Excess wax is then scraped off, leaving a smooth and slippery surface.
Kick wax is applied cold and then smoothed out with a waxing cork.
Each wax formulation works best within a specific temperature range.
