💡 xcSkiGuru tips & extended wet-snow coating guide

Wet snow is one of the most difficult waxing conditions: the combination of water and dirt increases friction and slows the ski’s release. RP052517 is designed to solve these problems at the highest level.

1. Base with hard fluoro-free paraffin

Examples: UP Mid / Universal / light Graphite

Why hard fluoro-free paraffin?

• Keeps the base structure open, essential in wet snow.

• Soft waxes clog the structure and reduce coating performance.

• Fluoro-free coatings perform best on hard fluoro-free base wax.

• Wet conditions require a dry, durable and supportive base.

2. Make the structure very open

Brass → Nylon → Long nylon
Avoid overly smooth finishing.

3. Apply RP052517 in a thin layer

Thin layer → cool → scrape → nylon brush.

4. Add a booster if needed

In dirty spring snow, a small fluoro-free liquid booster improves initial glide.

5. Race-day quick optimisation

Without heat:
Brush base → add suitable liquid coating.
