Protection after pre-wax (kick wax or klister)

Let's say you iron in some kick wax the night before a race, or apply
some klister in the comfort of your home before heading out to the
trails. Do you do anything special to prevent that wax or klister from
attracting dirt and debris when you travel to wherever you're skiing?
Do you just toss your skis in your ski bag? Relatedly, do you do
anything to protect other things from your skis?

One solution I have used is to strap the skis facing tight enough that =

they hold together (but not so tight that the kick zones touch at all) =

then wrap the area around the kick zones with saran wrap (i.e. wrapping =
as =

a pair, so the saran doesn't actually touch the bases).

I tried the Saran Wrap trick the other day for the trip up to Rumford to keep
the ironed-in base klister protected. I don't know if it was the wind on the
ski bag or what, but I spent way too much time picking shreds of plastic from
the base klister before I could apply the klister du jour. Next time, I will
try aluminum foil in the hope the added stiffness will help.

That's reason why I never wax at home It's just too much trouble
to be worth. And besides what's nicer then waxing skare at -10c? )
For going back I just use toilet paper to stick it to klister so
everything is not sticking after that. And at home I clean them
anyway.
