You can use the silicone lubricated wax, such as Seal-Tite. Use it any time your string feels dry, which here in Colo. is about every week, and twice a week if shooting alot. Just apply liberally directly to the string, and either rub with your fingers until you feel heat, or some use a small piece of leather between thier fingers, and rub until warm. The heat you create by rubbing briskly will help the wax penatrate the string.

Here's what Winner's Choice says:

Q- How do I care for my Winners Choice string?

A- Proper care of our product is very easy, but paramount in getting the most from your string. We recommend waxing your string frequently with ML-6 string wax (available through Winners Choice as well as many archery retailers) or other synthetic based wax (bees wax is not recommended) to prevent fuzzing of the material. Pay particular attention to any area that is contacted by string silencers, or any other outside object that causes fuzzing. Also watch for broken strands, and any thing that could cause strand breakage. Remember bowstrings are fragile, and are easily damaged by many factors.


They now recommend Dalton Wax because it has more Silicone

I've use ML-6 for many years but, I got some Dalton String Conditioner from Winner's Choice earlier this year. The stuff works great. It does have a good bit more silicone in it than the others and it works into the fibers real nice.

Mike Slinkard, V.P. of Winner's Choice said that BCY did some testing with it and said it works great on their fibers.
