We were excited about this waxing competition and decided to get a second one in this week since the conditions were drastically different than the first test. It was warmer than the first test which meant a lot more products could work. It was warm overnight, and about 34F at the time of test. Snow was still a mix of manmade and natural, but that feeling will soon be over and everything will feel transformed once again. Below is the test and the results.
Jeremy Wax Job: Toko X-Cold Powder > Rex Glide Cleaner > Rex NF21 Liquid x 2 layers > Roto Wool between layers > Brush
Ian Wax Job: Star All Conditions Powder ironed @ 160C > Scrape > Brush > Star All Conditions Liquid x 2 layers > Roto Wool between layers > Brush
Matt C. Wax Job: Rode Endurance, ironed twice @ 160C > Scrape > Brush > Swix TSP10 Ironed @ 165C > Scrape > Brush > Star Warm Block, roto wool > Brush
Jakob Wax Job: Rex NF21 ironed twice @ 150C > Scrape > Brush > Swix TSP7 ironed @ 170C > Scrape > Brush

We will continue to compile this data through the season. We learned from today that liquid waxes seemed to help (top 2 were liquid products). It would have been interesting to see a direct comparison between Rex NF21 Liquid and Star All Conditions Liquid. In next weeks test we will begin to limit some of the variables!
