Default String Maintenance

Hey everyone, hope the preparation for the season is going well. I just had new Vapor Trails put on my bow and was wondering about the necessary steps to maintain them such as waxing them like when should I do wax, should i wax the entire string, etc?

Yes, you should wax the entire string as well as your cables. I don't have a schedule to give you but you can look at the strings and if they look dry, wax them....Here's the kicker, I don't believe you can over wax them, so better to wax them and not need it than not wax it and need it!!!!I probably wax mine every2-3 weeksor so depending on how often and much I am shooting

Texas is right. No such thing as waxing too often. I usually wax when they start to feel dry. Wax everything you can possibly wax. get as much of the string and cables as you can reach.
