Swix I84 Glide Wax Cleaner

You should use it whenever you are stripping old wax to apply a fresh layer. It is particularly useful when transitioning between different temperature waxes or if your base has collected significant dirt and grime from the snow.

No, this product is specifically formulated for the glide zones of skis and snowboards. Using it on grip zones or kick wax areas may interfere with the ski's ability to grip the snow properly.

Not entirely. While the cleaner is excellent for removing residual wax and contaminants, you should still use a plastic scraper to remove the bulk of your old wax before applying the cleaner to ensure the best results.

The Swix I84 is designed to clean and condition the base, not dry it out. However, it is always best practice to follow up the cleaning process with a fresh hot wax application to keep the base hydrated and performing well.

For a casual skier or snowboarder, a 150ml bottle will typically last an entire season. If you are tuning multiple pairs of skis frequently, you may need to restock sooner, but the spray application helps control usage to prevent waste.
