Like this much better than f4Easier to applyLasts several hours in snow and ice -classic XCOh it really smells goodHighly recommended

I just tried this for the first time, applied to a pair of keys that badly needed wax. It is a bit tough to apply and spread but I found that if you use a hair dryer to heat up the wax a little before you spread it, it goes on easier. I also used the hair dryer as I was working the wax into the ski base with the cork, and it went very quickly. I skied about 20,000 vertical feet in 30 degree weather. The skis moved nicely on the snow, and there was still wax on the bases when I was done. This is great stuff to use in between hot waxes.

I used this wax for a short day use in between getting my board waxed. It's great for one day use and does the job on the slopes. Application is easy just rub on and buff. However, it is hard to get it consistent across the board. I'm sure I missed some spots and had more added in others. It lasted about a day and needed another application for the next day.

This worked great once I figure it out!Okay, if you have never waxed a board before (like I had not) then this is going to be a learning process. The steps below will help if you’re like me and you put on too much wax on your first go.1. The wax may become clumpy and flakey looking when applied. It’s fine, I promise.2. BUFF THE EVER LIVING CRAP OUT OF IT. I mean it. I gave it a wee buff with the cork top and it flattened the clumps, but still looked sketchy. Then I wrapped a 1.5” steel bearing ball in microfiber cloth—game changer. Those clumps get spread evenly and the metal ball holds enough low heat to make the wax more movable.3. Buff it again. Buff it until the bottom of your board looks like a frosted stein (because of the wax layer, not from scratching).4. Flip that microfiber cloth around and give it a good wipe to remove any dust. You should have some moderate sheen if it’s compressed enough.To be clear, this process and my errors were not the fault of the product, which is why I gave it 5 stars. This product clearly works well for application, I just went overboard on my initial application. I’ll update after I try a ride on it.

I think it worked well for rub on wax! Slippery very slippery in the initial use obviously it wore as time went on and runs were made. Fast speed and quick easy application. Value good. Longevity good. No smell.

I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked on my skis... my skis were between proper waxes and I wanted to see how well this rub-on wax would hold up on warmer packed powder turning icy conditions. I was able to glide over powder, packed powder, icy-ish and then hard frozen crud snow as temps got colder. The wax held up all day. I'd probably need to inspect the condition of the rub-on wax before I skied again - probably would need a re-application. But overall I'm very happy with this temporary wax solution! FWIW: 170 carving skis. Rocky Mtn blue/red groomers (which weren't groomed lol)

Avoid shortcuts and get your board or skis waxed the right way. This is a very plastic-y wax that doesn’t spread well. When you apply pressure it breaks and leaves clumps caked on the surface. No amount of buffing with the cork can spread the resulting wax clumps, so I had to remove a lot of what I had involuntarily applied and buff the remnants until it was smoothly coated. I then found myself getting stuck on flatter catwalks and trails that my group was easily overcoming. I will give credit, after a day of boarding the wax was still present, so I won’t recommend for performance, only for preserving your equipment

So I've been using this wax for most of the late winter and spring season so far. I get up to the mountain a little early, lay everything out, then wax and buff this stuff in. I'm a tad confused by other users who claim this is difficult to use, it's really as simple as wax on, buff in. If I had one critique though (as others have pointed out), it's that this is by no means a long-term solution to waxing needs. I think it would be gratuitous to say the wax lasts all day long, but for the morning and early afternoon, i've seen some noticeable increases in speed and find myself getting stuck in the slush less than before. For $20 bucks, the rub on wax is worth it if you're willing to wax every time.
