Try Famous Wax, this wax is amazing!! I was a Sex Wax lifer and then had a few friends that swear by Famous so I gave it a go and was really stoked. It is super sticky but not messy and really never looses it stick. By far the best wax i have ever used and will probably not use anything else.

Check the truth about “Organic” “Petro-Chemical free” surf wax.

Actually, I prefer to remove wax on a cold board on an overcast day or even better, in the shade, using a 3″ putty blade. I think this scrapes off the old wax right down to the surface, and only then do I put the board in the sun to heat up the deck – then simply wipe off the softened residue with a rag.

Or, after scraping bulk of wax – the cold-board method or however you do it – removing the residue with a rag with a bit of mineral spirits or other type of solvent.

BUT BE CAREFUL WITH THIS STUFF! A little goes a long way, and be sure to immediately clean the deck with mild soap and water to insure all solvent is taken off.

I have a question, is it ok to use different brand base coat/top coat? For example, lets say I used sticky bumps basecoat and then use Mrs. Palmers top coat? Just curious about the results since I got a free top coat of Mrs. Palmers the other day
