Zonatandem; I don't want to cause a riff but I lived in the Mojave Desert of So. Calif and hot wax with teflon added would not last 400 miles not alone 4,000 as you stated before having to rewax; and plain hot wax WITHOUT teflon last only about 100 miles if your lucky, and your post sounded like it was just plain wax not teflon treated wax. I'm sorry but your full of hot wax!
