Ski Wax
For all you self tuners out there, do you have a favorite wax? For the longest time I've just been using the cheapest cold weather wax I could find on Amazon until if finally decided to spend more than $20, the results have changed me for the better. So with that I ask: What are the best ski waxes out there?
I just personally use a base prep from Swix. It's basically universal, except for the absolute coldest of cold days but I will have more important problems at that point.
But, having a proper base structure, a clean base (done thru hot scraping), and a properly brushed based are going to be equally if not more important that the brand of wax you use.

Candlewax
Base prep with whatever wax I have available , and I try to treat with an appropriate hf wax for specific temp range as needed
Dominator Jaques got me stuck on Dominator wax. Shit is expensive but literally the hardest wax I've ever used. Fast and lasts long. Only complaint is how much of a bitch it is to scrape off. Also got a block of warm weather swix wax for spring.
I also used to use some shitty indie wax that is no longer in business. Thought it was great at the time but now not so sure.

I nerded out a bit 2 seasons ago with various waxes and waxing techniques. In the end, I never noticed much of a difference so I decided to just stick with Hertel all temp race wax and Purl all temp, warm, and base prep wax. These two brands seemed to fit in to the "set it and forget it, can't complain" category of waxes.
Only strong recommendation I have is to NOT use Wend's base prep wax. Those things were sticky and annoying af to scrape off.
