Start’s glider number system (2, 4, 6, 8 10) is based on molecular chain lengths. Higher #’s are harder waxes for colder weather due to their longer molecular chain lengths.  #10 is Start Green is the coldest (longest chain length) wax. But you can just refer to Start’s colors.

Start:

10-Green is the wax of choice when it is extra cold, below 14F.
8-Blue is for most cold days, 10-20 F
6-Purple for the most pleasant and consistent days, 19-28F
4-Red for getting warm and icy, 27-32F
2-White for it is too warm, above 32F

Choose the wax number/color based on the temps.

Then choose SG, LF, MF or HF and a finishing wax, based on the relative humidity/moisture and/or dirt, and your aspirations.
