So the plasma article was interesting.
Since they dialed it in about 2014, I wonder what, if any ski makers are using this for their bases.
I still think a good cleaning of a base like that would be needed prior to waxing.
Just because it could take up a lot of wax, would not negate the need to thoroughly clean prior to waxing.
Anyway, the article is about creating a better ski base. It's not about cleaning a ski base.
