Keep it simple, hot wax scrape (to clean base), hot wax don't scrape (for storage). Some people rubber band the brakes and lift the heel piece, I don't do either of these because banding the brakes puts tension on the springs which can eventually wear them out, and lifting the heel piece doesn't really do anything and it just makes them harder to store. Some people also crank down the DINs, this is a good idea...but don't forget to put them back (the reason I don't do this...caused me a problem once).
