Glide Wax: Will be posted later in the week. You should glide wax at home, we will kick wax on site.

Please Clean your kick zone! Here is a how-to video from SWIX If you don’t have Fiberlene, you can use a paper towel and a putty knife or any plastic scraper works if you don’t have the special T87 scraper. The base cleaner is a good thing to have- you will use it often. Questions? Feel free to email Rosemary.
