- In getting my skis ready for the new season I've about finished my bottle
- of wax remover. I know that there are citrus based wax removers on the
- market that are supposedly non-toxic and would appreciate benefiting from
- the wisdom of anyone who's tried them. The bottle that I'm finishing is
- a Kwik product called "Citra Kleen". I thought I was trying one of the
- non-toxics when I bought it but I failed to read the fine print. It
- works fine, smells great, but is petroleum distillate based.
-
- Any non-toxics you'd recommend? Any you've tried and didn't like?
- Many thanks.
