Yeah - hotwax without scraping. Don't throw any random oil on the edges - research it and find somethign suitable. You shouldn't even need to oil them if you keep them in somewhere non-humid. And turn your DINs right down on you bindings (then have them set up and tested by a shop next winter if you don't know what you're doing).

NH-Line is kinda right... but you get get wax that protects and lasts really long... not normal ski wax...that shite is the best.

i was told to store them standing up as straight as possible

leaning them on any sort on angle or lieing htem flat cause cause warping over time and heat.

^^ Doesn't make a difference. About the 'storage wax'..........fukkk buying that stuff. Use candle wax. I've been a 'shop rat' for years now and that's all we've ever used.
