Skikick is probably talking about Rex Base Oil. I used it and like it
alot. After the treatment my skis are nice and "oily/greasy". I always
do the treatment for my new skis, after stone grinding, and after
thorough cleaning.
Here's what Rex website has to say:
"Rex Fluor Base Oil makes the base preparation of all new skis
definitely easier. Apply a thin layer of oil and let it absorb into the
base, the longer the better - e.g. overnight. Wipe away any leftover
oil and continue with base wax and Rex Blue 423. One treatment with
base oil and paraffin is equal to 2-3 wax treatments. Treat skis with
Base Oil also after stone grinding."

I hope this helps.

Has anyone ever used base oil? What does it do that regular wax
doesn't?
Thanks!
I give up.... what is it? Who makes it?
I have used NOTWAX which is a Teflon type liquid that works with wax,
seems to help with real wet snow and prevents sticking.
