Swix Glide Wax Cleaner 150ml

Skiers who wax at home but don't need a big jug of cleaner on the shelf will get the right amount from the Swix Glide Wax Cleaner 150ml. It's a gentle cleaner for lifting old racing and universal glide wax, fluoro residue included, without grinding on the base. What's left is a fresh, receptive base that holds the next coat of wax better.

Why we like it:

Getting rid of old fluoro wax is the job a lot of cleaners skip, and this one is specifically made to pull fluoros out, which matters if you're switching to fluoro-free wax.

Features and Functions:

This smaller 150ml bottle carries the same formula Swix puts in its larger glide wax cleaner, and the routine is the same too. Wet a sheet of Fiberlene, work it over the glide zone, and scrub lightly with a white nylon brush before the cleaner dries. Wipe it off with dry Fiberlene, give the base 5 to 10 minutes to air out, then run a wire or roto wire brush over it lightly before ironing in new wax. Because it doesn't put hard mechanical stress on the base, it won't wear down the structure.

Bottom Line:

Grab this size for a home bench, a travel kit, or a first try at adding a cleaning step to your routine. It's an easy way to prep a base for new wax without committing to a shop-sized bottle.
