Should I ever clean the string/cable's with anything before I wax it.

Wipe off any mud.  Other than that, you're good to go.

What kind of wax are you putting on?

I wax anytime the string looks like it needs it. I always wipe off the excess, so I don't know that there is a 'too much.'

Dude, why you dragging that SBXT through the mud?

Texan- I agree.  Wipe off any course dirt and wax away.

Talon- I wax my string after every session.  Maybe a little overkill, but I either do it every time or forget every time...I fail conservatively.

It can take it, all it needs is a little wax on the string.

It depends how much I shoot.  I don't think you can overdue it, provided you wipe off the excess.  You can deffinately not do it enough though.  In hunting season, I often sit with my bow on my lap.  I need to keep up on the wax pretty much everytime I hunt or the string starts to get a little fuzzy.  Once it does that, it's all downhill from there.

Amen to that.  I actually keep a tube of wax in my pack.  During the 'slow' periods of the day if I'm comfortable that I can get away with the movement, I'll wax the string on stand if it's had a rough day of being drug through the woods or as you noted resting on my lap.  It's also a GREAT way to warm up that release trigger finger that isn't in a glove on cold days
