TheGoalNet Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 44 minutes ago, Hockey School Dropout said: I found the first few uses I had to re-apply more often. I think it takes a few applications for a "build up" to occur and then you can scale back on how often you apply. I have played most of the summer on one application and it's just starting to lose slipperiness. That makes a ton of sense, good insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 You guys have to apply something to your pads to make you side? The rinks I play at supply me with a huge sheet of ice to slide on. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey School Dropout Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not sure. It would help it dry faster for sure. SavebyRichter.....I got the joke. However, ice conditions here vary quite a bit, and sometimes the ice isn't conducive to sliding, hence the polish. Plus it helps us grumpy old guys stay with the pace of the game.

My gut tells me that Slide Polish gets you Speed Skin like results. I haven't worn Speed Skin yet, so I'm basing that on the reviews by @Hills and @djtendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've used the polish a couple more times. It absolutely improved the performance of the stock materials. I am shocked this stuff is not more popular or well known. Works with existing gear - CHECK Cheap - CHECK Can be done at home by anyone - CHECK Will improve your slides - CHECK Easy to apply - CHECK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I stumbled across this thread researching this stuff. I may have to give it a try. I've tried SnoSeal, mink oil and other products. So far the best I've found was Meguire's Hot Shine tire gel. It gives tons of extra slide, only has to be applied every 3-5 skates, but leaves residue all over.

insertnamehere Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I started using it this season. I've typically been applying it before each skate, it really seems to help once the ice gets rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Try doing leg exercises to build your leg strength. I would flip the fuck out if I found that my gear was covered in shit because someone doesn't have the strength to push 6 feet on ice and resorted to putting some kind of shit on their pads.

Why would your gear be covered in something that someone else is using? it's akin to waxing a snowboard. The board will go down the slopes without it, but it works better with.
