Ok I got some of this wax for free, I imagine its a rub on. It comes in a full powder form, so figure I guess I will try to rub some in with a little sponge that is attached to the lid, and it just like wont stick. I mean a little of it stuck in to the ridges of the skis (old ones, dry bases). But I cant imagine how this would have any signifagance on making you go faster, I think it would wear off in the lift line to be honest with you. So am I doing something wrong or is this just really crappy wax?
