FAQ
Is ZIPPS successor of Cerax?

Can liquid waxes be as durable as hot waxes?
What is the advantage of liquid waxes compared to hot waxes?
Most obvious is the faster and easier application, and you do nat have that lot of waste as with hot waxes. But there is another very important advantage: They are the only waxes that are able to absorb some important additives and make them effective.
Can a liquid wax soak the "pores" of the base?
First of all: Our research did not confirm, that there were any "pores" whatsoever. There are definitely none. We do not soak the base, we coat it by waxing. And this is possible with hot waxes as well as with liquid waxes.
May fluoro harm the base of the ski?
No. We do not treat the base with fluoro (an aggressive gas), but we use fluorine compounds in our waxes. They do not react chemically in a range of temperature up to 250°C. So they cannot harm the sole of the ski.
Why are some waxes black or grey and others white?
How do I re-sharpen the ZIPPS scraper?
The best method is to sway it on very fine sand-paper. Easy, fast and effective.
