The_MS Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I always use an old Kevlar liner and dish soap but not just when its new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted April 21, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2015 Dish soap and sponge when new and every now and then. When a ski has a sprayed bottom either from factory or a refinish I use dish soap and green sponge lightly from top to bottom. Very lightly!

TallSkinnyGuy Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sorry for the ignorance, but what are you guys talking about? Mold release? What is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOODESkier Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 After a ski is "cooked" in the mold at the factory, there is residual chemicals on the ski from the molding process. Cleaning removes these from the surface of the ski. You would think, most companies so this following manufacturing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjeep Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Guess all I've ever done is a little goo gone to get rid of the residue from the stickers that they insist on sticking to the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRY Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I power wash all mine. I attach them to my feet and hit the bottom with a 34.2+ mph blast up and down the lake. Cleans them right up. If not, repeat until clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jordan Posted April 22, 2015 Members Share Posted April 22, 2015 how Rossi does it...rubbing alcohol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted April 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 I wouldn't use rubbing alcohol on a Goode. It will hurt the ski. You definitely don't want a $2000 ski with blemishes. I guess it works on other brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jordan Posted April 22, 2015 Members Share Posted April 22, 2015 How would rubbing alcohol hurt a Goode? My understanding was they used bumper paint in the past...no idea now....you have piqued my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted April 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2015 The pre 9800 and the post XT ski's bottom is sprayed in full. In the in between models only the rear, the sides and the top are sprayed. Anyway if you rub the painted parts with alcohol they get discolored. Most other brands have a vinil finish and you probably can rub them with alcohol and a cloth. I would personally go with dish soap for a more gentl clean.
