Today, the bases on new skis are generally excellent and require little or no additional work, however, many racers are custom stone grinding new skis for peak performance.

Start with a base prep wax and apply several coats of wax, plastic scraping and brushing between coats.  A light metal scraping to remove hairs from the base may also help.

After 5 to 6 coats of Base Prep wax, switch to (Fast Wax Red) 2 to 3 coats.  Next increase the wax hardness (Fast Wax Blue) ubtil the skis are set up for the desired conditions.
