that will work for about half a day. If you want to do it yourself buy a waxing iron and some hot wax. that lasts a lot longer and works better. thats all they do at the shop is hot wax
if you're talkin about paste wax, then its nice for wet/sticky snow days. but you gotta put it on like 3 or 4 times in one day. or if you don't have time to get it waxed or hot wax it yourself then it's pretty tight.
