The boss is considering it, but I don't know how seriously.
Can you share some details on what the “pro shop waxing system” entails? I have imagined ways to make waxing better but they are just ideas, nothing I have actually tried. Heated ultrasonics (the bigger the better) are involved but would require that a container of liquified wax be suspended somehow in a powerful heated ultrasonic water bath. My theory here is that the ultrasonic (if implemented well) would eliminate all doubt about wax penetration deeper into the chain thus ensuring the longest wax life possible.
