Wax
Ski waxes for professional ski servicing - the perfect equipment for your service
A clean ski service starts with the right wax. At XSPO you will find a wide selection of high-quality ski waxes that will delight professionals and ambitious hobby skiers alike. Whether base wax, temperature wax or top finish - with the optimum foundation, you can improve
Purpose, areas of application and requirements
Professional ski wax sets cover all requirements - from World Cup races to weekend club contests. Racers and ambitious hobby skiers use several layers of wax to react quickly to changing snow conditions. While base wax provides a solid foundation, temperature waxes adapt the gliding properties to cold or wet slopes. Top finish provides the finishing touch and maximum speed. With the right equipment - irons, brushes and waxers - you can prepare your skis flexibly and precisely for every use.
Important properties, values and technical features
When it comes to ski waxes, composition, temperature range and environmental friendliness are important. The table shows you an overview of the most important types of wax:
| All-round wax | -10 °C to +5 °C | Good compromise for changing conditions | Easy to use, cost-effective | Not specialized for extreme temperatures |
| Cold wax (HC) | -20 °C to -5 °C | harder base for cold, dry slopes | Top glide value on ice, high abrasion protection | Demanding to apply |
| Warm wax (C) | -5 °C to +10 °C | soft, ideal for wet snow | Very good glide in wet conditions | faster wear |
| Fluorine-free racing wax | variable | environmentally friendly, high slip value | No fluorine residues | Slightly more expensive |
| Liquid wax | +5 °C to +10 °C | Fast finish for races | Ready for immediate use, easy to apply | Low abrasion protection |
The way to the right ski wax
- Analyze the snow and temperature profile: Measure outside temperature and snow type to choose the right wax type.
- Apply the base wax: Set the iron to the right temperature and spread the base wax evenly.
- Add layers of temperature wax: Apply several layers for precise adaptation to cold or wet slopes.
- Cooling down and brushing out: After cooling down, brush out the skis with a nylon or horsehair brush to expose the base structure.
- Top finish for extra speed: liquid or paste finish for the last hundredths of a second on the racetrack.

Frequently asked questions about ski waxes
- How do I choose the right ski wax for my ski service?
Depending on the outside temperature and type of snow, you can choose between cold, warm or all-round wax. - Why is base wax important for ski servicing?
Base wax forms the stable foundation and protects the flooring from drying out and wear. - When do I use Top Finish for ski waxes?
Top finish is used in racing to get the last hundredths of a second of speed. - Can I use ski wax environmental options?
Fluorine-free racing waxes offer high performance without fluorine residues and are more environmentally friendly. - How often should I wax skis?
Profi-Skiservice recommends re-waxing after every third to fourth day of skiing, or more frequently depending on the snow conditions. - What accessories do I need for a professional ski service?
Irons, wax brushes (nylon and horsehair), squeegees and a stable work surface are essential. - Is liquid wax suitable for beginners?
Liquid wax is quick to apply and is suitable for quick use, but offers less abrasion protection. - How do I store leftover ski wax correctly?
Store in a cool, dry and dark place - ideally in the original packaging and out of direct sunlight.
