CreamofDaCrop — What It Is, How It Works, and When to Use It

Most skiers know Hertel for Super HotSauce and Rub N Go. CreamofDaCrop is the one the serious glide chasers reach for.

CreamofDaCrop is a paste wax — no iron required, no scraping, no mess. It goes on like a cream, buffs to a hard finish, and delivers a slick, fast base that holds up across multiple runs. It was developed by Terry Hertel as a finishing layer — something you apply over a base wax to maximize surface speed and repel dirt and moisture at the molecular level.

How It’s Different from Other Hertel Waxes

• Super HotSauce is your all-conditions iron-on wax — deep penetration, long-lasting, best for full wax jobs
• Rub N Go is your on-mountain quick fix — pocket-sized, no iron, 8 applications per bar
• CreamofDaCrop is your finishing layer — applied cold, buffed hard, adds a speed coat on top of whatever base you’re running

You can use it standalone for a quick tune, or layer it over Super HotSauce for maximum performance.

When to Use It

• Before a race or a big powder day when you want every advantage
• When your bases feel slow but you don’t have time for a full iron wax
• As a regular maintenance coat between full wax jobs
• On rental skis or snowboards that haven’t been waxed in months

How to Apply

1. Clean your base (dry, no moisture)
2. Apply a thin layer of CreamofDaCrop with the included applicator or a cloth
3. Let it sit 2–3 minutes
4. Buff firmly with a clean cloth until the base shines
5. Ski

No iron. No scraper. No shop required.
