Would this be a good quick wax?

i wouldn't recommend it


if it's like teflon there's a possiblity that i could clog the pores of your base and prevent it from absorbing wax

Go work in a shop so you can wax your skis everytime u use them, then they'll be fast

here is the deal, its possible that that stuff may be the ULTIMATE wax.
it really depends on how well it bonds to the ski's base.

go there and read about its properties...
it might turn your skis into rockets.... or just suck.

you cant use it unless you brush it in with a cork or polisher and it takes like 5 minutes to do each ski and will last aprox. 500 yards, not worth it.

And im serious about the entire thing, it will last literally 500 yards

do not use zardoz, it is possibly the worst gimick created for skiing ever, and it kills your bases, the only professional application is for cleaning tools, that is if you are talking about the "base cleaner"

zardos is fast, but it kills your base. there isnt a substitute for a good hotwax, and its so easy to do. and, once your done, you can toss a bit of zardos on, and it isnt nearly as harmful as it is to a dry base.
