Hockey wax is essentially a combination of melted wax, coconut oil and vitamin E. As the name suggests, it is used to remove ice hockey gear stains from clothing and other surfaces. While there are several different brands of sport gear wax, the three components above represent the most common and effective combination. When used in combination with regular clothing wax, this product allows you to clean almost any stain on your clothing without leaving a residue.

How Does It Work?
First, melt the wax slightly, then add the coconut oil and vitamin E. Next, apply the mixture to the stained area and, using a soft cloth, gently work it into the fibers of your clothing. When applying it to your skin, make sure that you avoid direct contact with the eye area. After about 10 minutes, you can remove the cloth and the wax will harden. You can subsequently wipe any excess oil with a dry cloth or let it air dry.
This product prevents ice crystal formation and reduces the likelihood of your skin becoming chapped during the winter months. Because it is designed to be used on skin, it has a much lower melting point than regular clothing wax. This makes it easier for you to apply and quicker to dry. Additionally, it prevents water spots and other common stains from setting into your clothing or other surfaces. It is highly effective at removing such stains and once again, allows you to clean almost any item without having to throw away your clothing.
The Verdict
As with any new product or technique, people will always have something to complain about. While some users claim that this is too greasy or difficult to apply, others claim that it is not effective at all. Ultimately, you will have to determine what properties you prefer in your ice hockey cleaning product and can then find a way to accommodate your personal preferences. In the meantime, this product will continue to be a bestseller for Hickey Freeman and, as a result, the company as a whole.
