SANTA CRUZ SCWAX Skateboard Wax

Santa Cruz SCW-AX isn't just any skateboard wax; it's formulated with a unique blend of ingredients that provide superior performance compared to generic options. This formula includes special polymers, lubricants, and waxes designed to create an ultra-slick surface for your skateboard trucks and wheels to glide over effortlessly. Heres a closer look:

• Unique Polymer Blend: SCWAX utilizes a proprietary polymer mix that offers incredible durability and longevity more on this later in the Durability section.
• Lubricating Agents: These help reduce friction between your trucks, wheels, and grinds, ensuring smooth maneuvers every time.
• Natural Waxes: Santa Cruz incorporates natural waxes into its formula to provide a smoother, cleaner grind while minimizing residue buildup on rails and ledges. The wax itself comes in a compact, durable tin thats easy to carry around. It's about the size of a small deck grip sheet perfect for stashing in your backpack or skate bag. The simple black and white Santa Cruz logo adds a touch of style without being overly flashy.

One of the standout features of Santa Cruz SCWAX is its exceptional durability. Unlike some cheaper waxes that wear off quickly, even with moderate use, SCW-AX lasts significantly longer. This is primarily due to the specialized polymer blend mentioned earlier. The polymers create a resilient layer on your skateboards surfaces that resists chipping and peeling, ensuring consistent performance over time. Here's a breakdown of how long you can expect Santa Cruz SCWAX to last:

• Light Use: A tin of SCW-AX can easily last several months with light use (occasional grinds).
• Moderate Use: For skaters who grind regularly, expect the wax to last around 2-3 weeks.
• Heavy Use: If youre a dedicated street skater who spends hours grinding every day, a tin might only last about a week or less. While heavy use will shorten its lifespan, Santa Cruz SCW-AX still outlasts most competing waxes by a considerable margin, making it a worthwhile investment for serious skaters.

Santa Cruz SCWAX excels at providing smooth grinds across a wide range of surfaces, from concrete and steel to wood and brick. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for street skating, park riding, or even filming sessions where you need consistent performance regardless of the terrain. Here's how it performs on common skate spots:

• Concrete: SCW-AX provides a noticeable improvement in grind smoothness compared to dry concrete alone. Rails and ledges become much easier to slide over without catching or sticking.
• Steel: This is where Santa Cruz SCWAX truly shines. The wax creates an incredibly slick surface that allows your trucks to glide effortlessly over steel rails, coping, and edges.
• Wood: While wood tends to be smoother than concrete or steel, applying SCW-AX still reduces friction significantly, making grinds feel noticeably faster and more fluid.
• Brick/Stone: Although brick and stone are rougher surfaces, SCW-AX still provides a noticeable improvement in grind smoothness. It's not quite as effective on these materials as it is on steel or concrete, but its certainly better than nothing.

Applying Santa Cruz SCWAX couldnt be simpler. Here are the steps:

1. Clean Your Skateboard: Ensure your trucks and wheels are free from dirt, debris, and old wax residue.
2. Warm Up the Wax: Rub the tin against your pants or a rough surface to warm up the wax slightly. This makes it easier to apply smoothly.
3. Apply SCWAX: Start by applying a thin layer of wax to the areas you want to grind (trucks, baseplates, wheels). Use even pressure and work in circular motions for best results.
4. Buff It Out: Once applied, use a clean cloth or paper towel to buff out any excess wax and create a smooth, consistent surface. Re-applying the wax is just as easy simply repeat steps 2-4 whenever you notice your grinds starting to feel rougher than usual. For optimal performance, reapply SCWAX after every skate session.
