Swix VR30		 Swix VR40 is a great wax. Wide range and fast!

Notes: Do not iron fluorinated kick waxes  -- if you do, fluoro floats to the top and destroys grip. For a base wax under VR30/VR40 use Swix Extra Blue.  Same for Toko or others.

Notes: Brush, brush, brush that structure. Any ski can be made faster with a brush. Use a nylon brush for coarse structure and horsehair for finer.
