Distributor: Nationwide Accessories Price: from $243.37 Info: http://nwa.co.nz/product/catalogue/street-road/phantom-sportscomp Wizard waxing without the pain Merlin waxed cotton jackets are made from genuine Halley Stevensons waxed cotton and, as with any natural product, over a long period the wax may begin to dry out. Some riders prefer the aged dry look of the wax, but the key to getting the most out of your waxed cotton jacket is to occasionally re- apply the wax proofing using tins of the stuff from Merlin.
