Dominator-ReNEW Base Care Waxes

ReNew ZOOM waxes are deeply penetrating base conditioners in Graphite and Non-Graphite formulas providing both base impregnation and surface protection. Why recondition the base ? Dry base is a very common problem caused by several factors: stonegrinding, use of base cleaners, aggressive snow, repetitive use of hard waxes, and failure to wax. Additionally, new skis and boards can have dry bases because factory wax, often buffed on, is non-penetrating. The ReNew ZOOM waxes are unique blends of ultra-soft and ultra-hard waxes working in tandem to saturate and protect in one easy ironing step. The ultra-soft waxes penetrate deeply to condition the base, while the ultra-hard waxes stay close to the surface to protect against abrasive snow.

Dominator-The Zoom Broad Range Wax Series

To be used effectively, all conventional temperature specific waxes require fairly accurate information about the snow conditions. But one rarely has this luxury. Most of us wax Friday night and hit the snow Saturday morning, or the weather changes during a race, or snow temperatures vary a lot in the sunny and shady areas of the racecourse. To adapt to this reality, we developed the Zoom thermoactive waxes. These products change their properties rapidly as a function of snow temperature and adapt to changes in snow conditions. Because of this ability, they work very well over a broad range of snow temperatures (0C to -12C/ 32F to 10F), from wet to fairly cold snow. They can feel a little slower on extremely cold snow so we augment them with the Bullet Extreme Cold waxes when it gets that cold.The Zoom/Bullet System provides race proven results yet requires the kind of minimal information you can get with a quick phone call to the ski patrol. You need to know only two things: The age of the snow (new or old), and the snow temperature category (normal, cold, or extreme cold). You choose the wax by using the Zoom/Bullet/Butter chart. The Zoom thermoactive waxes are available in the following versions:
 

Dominator-No-Iron Waxes
 

Dominator-4x4 Competition Wax System

THE DOMINATOR 4 X 4 SYSTEM is designed for full speed in all conditions. The four colors (white, turquoise, pink, and yellow) indicate the hardness of the wax, and each color is available in four fluoro levels corresponding to different amounts of moisture in the snow. There are also two series of antistatic additive waxes, one for old snow and one for new snow. Three snow variables influence wax selection: hardness, moisture content and age. The hardness determines the color of the wax, the moisture content the fluoro level, and the age (new or old snow) the type of antistatic wax. The wax of choice is always a mixture of an antistatic wax and a color wax and selection is guided by the waxing charts or, more precisely, by the Virtual Technician .
 

Dominator-Victory Overlays

The Victory overlays ER6, Q, 65, and Q6 Eenhance acceleration, top speed and resistance to dirt in nearly all temperature and snow conditions—a significant improvement over conventional fluorocarbon overlays. Each of the Victory overlays provides its own particular competitive edge (as shown in the "Friction" chart), but it’s not necessary to use all four unless you regularly encounter the full range of possible snow conditions, such as those on the World Cup circuit. The overlays are designed to be applied over wax that has been scraped and brushed. WHY ARE THERE FOUR VICTORY OVERLAYS? Each of the Victory overlays has been designed to minimize a specific combination of the friction components found in differing snow conditions-- dry friction from dry snow, wet friction from wet snow, and electrostatic friction from the base rubbing against the snow. Depending upon snow temperature and type, one component of friction may be more prevalent but, generally, friction is the sum of these components: FRICTION = WET + DRY + STATIC An overlay is the first line of defense against friction, which can pull on the base, slowing it down. The table shows the types of friction that each overlay best reduces; the more plus signs, the stronger the overlay is against that friction.
 

Dominator-Bullet Extreme Cold Waxes

These waxes were designed to cover the lower range of snow temperatures where it is too cold for the Zoom waxes. Bullet waxes work best at snow temperatures of –10C (14F) and lower, but will also work on snow as warm as –5C (22F) especially if it is icy. Available in hydrocarbon and fluorinated versions.
