Is there any product (like wax on a stick) that you can put on your lines to make them shine or slippery and help protect them .
Just a thought ....
it would make it easyer to rap lines up ect .

Silicone. It's what the lines are coated in already.

^^^ like Gorgo says

wrap your lines only around a bit of plastic or wood then you can spray them with silicone...

Dont spray your Chicken loop line or the bar stopper - wont stop soap and hot water fixes it though

rub a candle in the strings either delicately along each line or just scrub it amongst the wound lines every couple sessions. simple is good.
