I just drag lines across a candle from time to time. Keeps lines feeling like new: smooth, less tangle-prone, and repels water etc. Candle-wax isn't sticky at all, so sand doesn't stick to it.

I've used this is several line sets and it definitely works well. Seems to be a solvent-based solution of paraffin wax so that when it dries the lines are slick and smooth again like new lines, restores some of the colour of faded lines.
One bottle will do several line sets.

Thanx seems I can't get that here so was after the next best thing might have to do a candle appreciate it though

Candle wax will be fine. I have used modeling wax which I use in my job which is a little softer than standard white stick candles and probably easy to apply. Board wax would probably be to soft and bees wax maybe to sticky. A craft shop might have different types of wax but I wouldn't stress about it and just go with candle wax
