Cleaning Your Wax Jacket

Brush Off Loose Dirt: Start with a soft brush to remove any dirt or grime, paying extra attention to seams and pockets, where dirt tends to gather. This keeps your jacket road-ready.

Spot Clean Stains: Dab stains gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and never submerge the jacket—it will strip away the wax and damage its waterproof qualities.

Rinse Carefully: If mud is an issue, rinse with cold water. Let the jacket air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain its waterproofing and durability.

Restoring the Waterproof Barrier on Your Wax Jacket

Choose the Right Wax: Use high-quality wax, such as a wax dressing or spray designed for your jacket. This ensures a long-lasting, water-resistant finish that can handle all weather conditions.

Apply in a Well-Ventilated Area: Work in a well-ventilated space. Lay the jacket flat or hang it up while you apply the wax.

Warm the Wax: Warm the wax slightly in hot water to make it easier to apply. This helps the wax penetrate the fabric for better protection.

Apply the Wax: Use a cloth to apply the wax, focusing on seams and high-wear areas like shoulders and elbows. This ensures these areas stay protected on long rides.

Allow to Soak In: Let the wax sit for 12 hours so it can bond with the fabric.

Buff the Surface: After drying, buff the jacket with a soft brush to remove any excess wax and give it a polished look.

Protecting Your Wax Jacket

Store Properly: Hang it on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid sunlight and damp, which degrade the wax coating.

Avoid Over-Washing: Spot clean as needed, but avoid frequent washing to keep the waterproof wax intact.

Repair Damages Promptly: Patch small tears immediately to prevent them from getting worse.

Regular Reproofing: Re-wax your jacket every 6 to 12 months, depending on use, to maintain its water resistance and durability.
