Do you actually mean tune or just wax? I do both and for the vast majority of the time here's the procedure for waxing:

secure brakes with rubber band
secure ski to workbench I use http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I4S1X6/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 which does both.
wipe base, normally I just use rubbing alcohol.
drip wax
iron in
let cool, ideally at an indoor temperature
scrape
go ski

Everyone that skis more than ~10 days/year should do that. For me it's cheaper and quicker than taking them to a shop. And more fun.

Lots of people will talk about brushing and more complicated waxing. It's all worthwhile, for the first and only the first run. After that run, it stops mattering really quickly. Many people don't even scrape or give a really half assed scrape and let the snow take care of it. If you've fallen with exposed skin, you know how abrasive snow can be.

As needed I'll debur and remove rust with a gummy stone. If you take care of your edges, you'll only need an actual tune every 10-20 days. This is more tricky than hard, and you can easily make a mistake by setting the wrong bevel, or taking too much off.
