Um wax is going to come off no matter what. Are you going to lay down a inch layer, chip off? Just wax it before each sesh.

I was experimenting with a ton of stuff and found out that if you wax it alot then polish it hard with newspaper then its perfecto

^ if the wax is thick enough to actually chip off instead off just rubbing off, i'd venture that it's thick enough for you to catch an edge on. and wax is pretty soft with a low melting temperature, so you're going to sink right into that if your skis create any heat as you hit that rail.
