I think heavy white paper towels work better than fiberlene.

That's a good tip.  Any particular brand? I'm sure it's much cheaper too -- Fiberlene is expensive, for what looks just like dense paper towel. 

I'm the lazy guy that came up with the method John described in the OP.

Good one! I was delighted when I read that post last year.  It has saved me hours in the workshop.  What JB wrote got me checking into it more, I found what Swix were doing, and now seem to have settled on a combination of your method and the Swix one.  Works well for me, and I'm sticking with it!

I'll still wax every 3rd day.  The girls are so used to well-tuned skis, that if something is off they let me know in short order.  "Dad! My skis aren't gliding right.  Did you screw up the wax temp again?!" "Dad! My ski's tips are grabbing! Did you forget to detune them again?".......sigh....
