no hot wax on the tops, just some car wax.

Sven, the idea is to push the wax into the structure so removing the wax is a good thing. Remember, what causes good slide on the ski is having micro grooves (for lack of a better word) on the bases that allow good flow of air and water much like a car tire. if the bases were perfectly falt, the ski wouldn't glide well and would be sticky. it would cause a suction-like affect.
