The Remover w/Wax Comb

Works great and received it very fast

The Pickle Wax remover is *amazing*. I previously (like a chump) had been cleaning wax off of my boards with an old credit card and paper towels (and sometimes a heat gun when it was cloudy out, which occurs often where I live), and could never get that "brand new" shine that I've seen other people achieve, instead having a thin layer of blurry wax left on my board.I decided to try the pickle, even though I didn't like the idea of a solution that involved chemicals (I've heard it's either fiberglass or Styrofoam dust, but in either case I don't really want to breathe it in), and was impressed by the results: basically my board looked brand new. The wax comb it comes with is pretty nice too. It can take awhile to clean a board off (plan on 30 minutes or more for a longboard). Generally you need to scrape most of the wax off with the comb and then come back over everything with the pickle. The more wax you leave on the board, the more wax and dust shavings build up around the board, and possibly your floor. I'd recommend putting down a drop-cloth or some cardboard before going to work -- the shavings that land on my concrete garage floor are near impossible to sweep up (they stick). Definitely don't do this inside.If you're selling a board, I highly recommend grabbing one of these and removing the wax before taking pictures of it; I suspect you can ask for a slightly higher price for a wax-free board.I actually carry an old one of these in my car (the dust eventually all comes out and the pickle gets smaller and smaller until it needs to be replaced) to remove any wax on the bottom or rails of my board as I wait for the folks I surf with to get ready. I've bought a couple of these, and will probably keep buying them. Essential piece of surf equipment, I clean off my boards every couple of months.

My nephew said this worked great when he was trying to get all of the wax off of his surfboard.

We purchased these surfboards used for my child’s bedroom and never having owned a surfboard had no idea how nasty they would be. Searched for ways to clean the wax off and the Pickle came up. The enclosed scraper easily removed the wax and the pickle buffed it to a gorgeous shine! I expected it to be a hard and lengthy process but each board probably took 5 minutes and very little elbow grease! Don’t wait, buy this now you won’t regret it. I rarely leave reviews but this was awesome.

I’m really ocd when it’s time to rewax my board. I like to get every inch of the old off before applying the new. All my boards have compression dings, (they all do if they’re used) and that means the combs aren’t gonna get it all. I like to use my comb to loosen the wax and remove the first layer then I go in with this. It really kills down the time it takes. Definitely wanna do this outside if possible so you don’t get the dust all over the place. If you surf, do any kind of water board sports, this is a requirement.

The comb and the pickle work very well, however it did take me two hours to do one half of the board. I’m not sure if I’m using it incorrectly, but it does work with lots of elbow grease.

I don't write many reviews, but I've been taking wax off surfboards for a long time (20+ years), and this thing is perfect. I've never seen a board look so brand new.Directions:1) Warm the top of your board in the sun for 3-5 minutes.2) Use wax comb to scrape wax off board. Remove as much as you can with the comb.3) Bring board back into the shade and rub this pickle on top of it. Every last bit of remaining wax comes right off and creates these tiny and dry, sandy wax beads that brush right off the board.Selling a board? This wax pickle will make it look brand new.Note: Added bonus. The wax comb that comes with this pickle thing is also a far better wax comb than the one I've used for years.Honestly, I was highly prepared for this thing to be yet another gimmick-type product. Nope. The guys that created this thing deserve to make a lot of money.Pay the $10. Keep this thing forever. Just awesome.

My husband used his first pickle to pieces. It lasted about a year. The second pickle was discovered by some friends who own a surf stand on the beach. They loved the pickle, too. We hid the third pickle for our personal boards. Now we are on to pickles 4,5 and 6. Superb gift for surfers. It really gets off the wax with no fuss. Smooth finish and ready for a coat of wax and waves. Repeat buyer!
