Wildebeest will prob be on here in a minute rubbishing all non-hotwax treatments but I reckon they have their place..
Where did that come from?  |

Yeah, the vast majority might not notice the difference but I did..
and if conditions are wet (slushy) then you can lose a wax in a day.. |

Completely agree.
Don't underestimate the ability of the male of the specie's to over-analyse and over-complicate anything that he is interested in as a hobby. (and I include myself in this) |

| I surely can't be the only person on here that thinks that the vast majority of people on snowboards over the course of a weeks use, won't be slowed down by a slightly underwaxed board?! Most people (and i am including myself in this!) are not using their boards to full potential and will bottle it way before their 5 or 6 days use of board makes any difference at all! (Or am i just a big wuss?) |

| I use Dope wax. Any quick fix wax as has been mentioned is good for one or two days but will need repeated applications for a week. |

Yep - 2 step application, so rub it in then polish/buff it off (ooo er matron) 
I just used a normal kitchen cloth before, although sure a pad would be better. |

Hey Tekilla/guys,
Got a pot of afterburner wax the other day. Am off to the Grand Massif on Sunday and will probably get a shop wax a few days in if I can. But if I can't, I haven't used the afterburner before though, is it just as simple as spread on and polish in ??
Any tips ?
Cheers
Steve |

I had some of the Toko stuff - sooooooper-expensive.. not that great..
I recently got some Demon PasteWax that did a great job of keeping my base moist n fast while out in Canada for 2 weeks last month..
Wildebeest will prob be on here in a minute rubbishing all non-hotwax treatments but I reckon they have their place.. |

Dakine rub on gets my vote too from experiance.
Indeed Zardos Notwax is amazingly quick but doesn't last long I've found it be ok for an evening at MK. |

Any of the Dakine ones are really good too - Afterburner paste springs to mind

| I have used Icetools Fast Flux. Did the job well but only lasts a couple of days at most. It dries quick with a good thick layer which takes a bit of polishing but works great. Having said that can't beat the real thing. |
