No, unless the YKK is different than my TiZip, on which you only grease the docking end with silicone, the plastic zip needs no lube.
So only brass get's lubed? I did not know that.. I don't own a plastic zipper either
 
I'm afraid the ask.... Why seaskin send with dry suit wax and if you look at manual is written to use the wax?
What's appena if we use wax on plastic zip?

Why did they send it? Probably just part of the packing process.

Just be careful when using silicone anywhere on a drysuit, wherever it touches will not be able to be glued/repaired in future since no adhesives will stick to it. Not a big deal generally but worth keeping in mind when you look at likely repair areas (end of zips where a possible replacement zip may need to be glued one day)
 
@elZub I asked Seaskin the same. It's just how they package, which is stupid but it is what it is. Get yourself silicone grease and give wax to a friend with metal zip.
 
Thank you all to clear my doubts..
I confess I had wax on my plastic zip🤫 because this is my first dry suit and I just read the manual and used what I found on the bag.
Now what I can do yo clean it?

It would be so simple to sell the nova with grease and not wax on plastic zip suit.
