Treating Zero & Crown/Fish Scale Skis
Despite being marketed as "waxless", zeros skis or crown skis (aka Fish Scale Skis) still benefit from certain waxing procedures. Out of the basic convenience of liquid waxes, we generally only recommend using liquids on your waxless skis to gain improved glide and to avoid icing in Orange or Red snow conditions. You can use any liquid glide wax on your zeros or crown skis but some wax manufacturers make special products specifically for these waxless skis.

Step-by-Step
1) Before applying any wax products to your skis, grab a liquid base cleaner and cloth or fiberlene and wipe off any dirt & grime that might be on the ski base. Clean off the grip zone as well with the liquid base cleaner.
2) Even before the solvents from the base cleaner have evaporated, you can grab a metal brush if you have one or a nylon brush and give the bases an additional cleaning with the brush. After brushing a few times, repeat step 1 with the liquid base cleaner and repeat until the cloth no longer picks up dirt.
3) Apply the liquid wax over the entire ski base, grip zone included, according to the instructions on the bottle. Different waxes have different recommended dry times so be sure to let the wax dry for the time it needs.
4) Some liquid waxes require brushing after the solvents have dried so check the bottle for any additional finishing instructions.
