I will definitely have to try that, as I think I spent what few hours of free time that I had this winter waxing, scraping and brushing my family's six pairs of skis.? A few glasses of wine, some rock-n-roll on the blaster sure helped, but it seemed I was down in the basement for hours every week inhaling fumes and making a waxy mess on the floor.?

Speaking of mess, it seems to me that this method would be totally mess-free, as you don't mention brushing.? Do you still brush after the application?

In my search to find short cuts to make this whole exercise less time consuming, I have contemplated rotary brushes, but have hesitated to go that route for fear of overdoing it and ruining the bases -- a little too much pressure or too slow a pass with a rapidly spinning brass roto brush, and Ooops! there goes my Ptex up in smoke!?

BTW, Swix has a good video of the paper towel method on their Swix School page:? http://www.swixschool.com/web_tysk/index2.html

Their "paper towel" is their own product called Fiberlene.? I have looked at this in a shop, and it seems for all the world to be the same as the blue mechanics Shop Towels that you can get in an auto parts store.

Looks like a quick and easy method -- I will try it. Thanks John.
