MasterWax Buyer's Guide

MasterWax’s marquee products have long been their wool-apply waxes. “Wool-apply” (aka fleecing) use to be branded as a “revolutionary” ski waxing system, but that branding has aged. Nowadays, many high-level clubs, teams, and ski-service shops use the system. Many other wax companies have copied MasterWax’s wool-apply system. Wool-apply waxing has gone mainstream.

“Wool-application” glide waxing uses friction-heat generated by a rotating wool applicator to apply a thin layer of wax to a ski, or snowboard’s base.

MasterWax: A Real Sustainable future

A product picture of the MasterWax Fluoro Engine Kit

The MasterWax wool-apply ski waxing system is a fantastic way to get fast skis quickly without putting your heath at risk. Before continuing, we highly recommend reading more about the concepts and benefits of cold apply waxing here.

This article is a buyer’s guide to help you select the perfect products for your use case.

MasterWax has introduced an entirely new line of fluoro-free racing glide waxes called the RACING FLUORFREE. Unlike the fluoro MasterWaxes from the bad-old days, (when there was a high-fluoro line, medium, and LF lines of waxes) now there’s only one line of fluoro-free waxes to choose from for all your racing or training needs.

MasterWax Kits: The Best Way to Go

If you're starting out with MasterWax, we recommend getting one of these kits. The kits come with all the wax, wools and attachments you need to get started with wool-apply waxing. Grabbing a bottle of Rode's Glide Cleaner is also recommended to help keep bases clean between wax applications.

Rode Glider Cleaner Spray | 150mL

Use this Glider Cleaner to lift off dirt and old wax from your glide zones. Allows you to achieve a thorough ski base cleaning quickly without damaging the base - reviving it for the next waxing. It does not dry out the base, instead leaving a shiny aspect that ensures better sliding. Use the spray bottle to cover the base with glide cleaner, then brush with a nylon brush and/or metal brush before the solvents have a chance to dry to limit dust. Wipe off spent cleaner with a cloth and repeat cleaning until the cloth comes off free of visible grime. The large 500mL bulk bottle comes with an open top. Also available in 150mL spray bottles.
