WAX:
-tie brakes back with elastic
-with a scrubby brush off the dirt from bases, then whipe with towel
-scrape bases with scraper
-drip wax onto bases
-iron out the wax
-let it sit, then scrape till no more wax comes off
-unplug iron and go ride.
thats what i do and it works for me. i dont work in a shop or anything, but that does the job. im sure there is more minute details.

get a wax that you dont have to iron with thats super complicated.... find a good lite so you can see where you have waxed the just take of all the axcess with towel..... sharpening edges i have no clue about.... im not even sure about the wax but it works

most of us ski park and so ill just assume that you do to. well anyways you dont want edges for park and rails otherwise you'll catch and its hard to butter

Most people use the brushes after waxing.

yea i used to just ride only mountain but im starting to get more into park i do rails and stuff so i wasn;t sure if i should even bother sharpening my edges because i know they will just get wrecking in a few hits on the rails anyway... so yea does anyone know what the cork would be for in that kit?

Yeah he's right you wanna buff it and brush it AFTER you wax...but pre scraping it is a decent idea...and ptex it before if you have any unwanted shit...if you want details on how to tune pm me..i do it for a job
