Blue for all-round freezing conditions, Pink UHW for old or abrasive snow, Black New Snow for fresh snow. NFX Extra Tuned puts fluor-free race wax into a sponge bottle. The condition-specific wax base, NFX and OLOS ingredients are already combined; you do not need to mix separate powders to obtain this formula.

Read the snow before the thermometer

Pink's wide temperature range does not make it the automatic choice for fresh snowfall. Start with Black for new snow within its range. Blue provides an all-snow option below freezing. NFX makes sense for racing or focused training where condition-specific glide matters. For routine ski maintenance, NF Sisu or the G Series may cover the job.

A complete liquid layer without hot waxing

1. Clean the glide zones with a glide-zone cleaner and let them dry.
2. Shake the sponge bottle well.
3. Spread an even coat of the chosen wax.
4. Allow around 20 minutes to dry.
5. Finish to a shine with a clean nylon brush.

NFX liquid works as a standalone wax. Applying it over a completed race-wax preparation is another option, not a requirement. For this hand-applied routine, cleaning equipment and a nylon brush are sufficient. No iron, scraper or merino rotary tool is required.

Two mistakes to avoid

Do not pick Pink simply because its temperature scale is widest when the snow is freshly fallen. Do not brush the wax while wet: let it dry first. If the base is dirty, clean it before adding another layer.

If using Gold Liquid topcoat, complete the NFX layer first. Gold is the last step: spread it, let it dry for five minutes and do not brush it. Gold is optional; NFX does not require a separate topcoat to work. Keep glide wax away from skins and classic grip zones.
