Properly Processing Waxes
Ski wax can only perform at its best when processed correctly. Even the best wax formula will be of little use if the base is not properly prepared, the wax is ironed in incorrectly, or the structure is not thoroughly brushed out.
In this section of the Dominator Academy, you will learn step-by-step how to properly wax, clean, scrape, and brush your skis – from basic preparation to a professional finish.
Why proper application is crucial
Ski waxing is not about leaving as much ski wax as possible on the base. The crucial thing is that the wax is worked into the base and that the structure can then work freely again. Only then can your ski glide fast, repel water, and maintain its performance for a longer period.

Properly clean and prime skis
A clean base is the foundation of any wax treatment. You will learn how to remove dirt, old wax residues, and prepare the ski optimally for new ski wax.
Hot waxing skis correctly
Hot waxing involves introducing ski wax into the base with controlled heat. You will learn what matters with wax irons, temperature, wax quantity, and curing time.
Properly apply pastes
Paste waxes are ideal for quick applications, refreshing, and specific snow conditions. We show you how to apply, work in, and polish pastes evenly.

Properly apply finish products
Finish products can provide the final performance step. The right application for the snow type, temperature, and desired glide characteristics is crucial.
Properly scrape and brush skis
After waxing, excess wax must be removed. With a scraper and brush, you expose the structure and ensure that your ski glides fast and clean.
