this question doesnt apply to me, but say you have new skis, and have not been waxed yet. Will the bases become easily scratched/damaged especially on rails?

Waxing wont protect agains scratches or damages at all so no it wont make a different on rails, however it is still recommended to wax new skis because generally the factory wax they come with are shit. Also semi relevant but on new skis always remember to detune the edges a bit under foot before hitting rails to avoid injuries or damages.

Sort of depends on which ski you have... not all bases are created equal. Need more info on your ski.
