so i guess before i wasnt waxing them for long enough, or scraping hard enough, but man it made a huge difference. if you were like i was an hour ago, givr a go, see how it works.

snowguns=oil=dirty snow=brown/black gooey bases

Usuauly if your bases are that dirty it means you should strip them down with soem cleaner, and rewax/scrape. Not just scrape the dirt off.

you use base cleaner aka citrus cleaner. it is a chemical that strips all shit off your bases including wasx.

Wax with a warm wax and scrape it off straight away. The only time you should use base cleaners is before doing base repairs.

clean your bases with nail polish remover first rub it in, then dry and then do a hot wax, and scrap right away, then wax again and let it be for a while outside, works wonders.

citrus would dissolve pretty much every type of mineral that will attach itself to your ski
