Hi miko,

When we clean up waxed boards, we go to the local shaper and get a bag full of surf board blank dust. You take the foam dust and shavings and put them into an old stocking and tie a knot in it. You then use a wax comb to get the chucks off and then polish the boar with the stocking. The foam dust mixs with the wax and comes straight off. Leaves the board gleeming. Great for when your selling a board.

I use a some petrol from the mower tin. Use it with an old towel. Works a treat. Just got to make sure you wash it all off before re-applying the wax.

WD40 works well too - and smells better.

I've always used a wax comb & then cleaned the residue off with mineral turps on a rag. It works great but I reckon lavender oil would smell a lot better.

I tried a heap of stuff in our cupboard and RP7 was the only thing in there that worked for me.

Acetone from the hardware shop works great if your trying to get wax off, especially if you intend to put deck grip on, And for a pre sale shine try a bit of tooth paste and water, your board will look brand new, i know it sounds stupid but it works.

Go up into the dry sand,put ya stick wax up for 2 mins,3mins in Autumn,then rud with dry sand,no nasty chemicals,wax gone,no drama,

The acetone isn't to remove the wax just removes all the greasy residue before putting on deck grip, for wax 2 mins in the sun and a wax comb... Another one is the old big Kevs Goo remover,,,R.I.P Big Kev.

Hey AA does this work with the sticky goop left from a peeling pad?

Hey Drewstar, the TAR & WAX remover is best for final clean up after glue is removed.

For removing the 'glue gunk' a Citrus based 'sticker remover' from almost any Supermarket is best.I believe it is eucalyptus based.
Let it soak in for a few minutes. Scrape off as much solid gunk as you can with a credit card or similar. Apply again, wait a few minutes and finish with a rag. Repeat again if neceassary.
Once it is just a smear you can use the TAR & WAX remover.

Creatures grip is one of he best so speak to your dealer or CofL to find out why it lifted.

Cheers and happy gooey gunk removing!

Stoked mate! There seem to be waves everywhere right now and everyone is PUMPED!

We have a single sheet of grip which is the grip PSH use in the USA.
I only have solid black left. More colors coming in September.

This is the most reliable grip we have found and it is what Casso & Hilly used for ULTIMATE TRACTION.

May the swells keep pumping!
