What can you use on a slide to make it slippery again?

It is attached to a metal swing set not sure if its tin or what but it's sticky and chalky and not slippery - you have to use your hands to pull yourself down. I've washed it but that really didn't do anything.

my mother had us slide on wax paper. I don't remember if it ever helped but that's a thought. I wonder too if sand under wax paper or under a clean cotton towel might help? good luck
You could always wax it (like car wax) but it will wear off. I know we let the kids use wax paper because ours has done the same thing. It's almost 15' tall (from a playground).
Try rubbing with wax paper first. If that doesn't get your slippery on, use car wax. Caution! It may become so slippery that it rockets your children out onto the freeway.
That's what I was thinking --wax it! Car wax or surf board wax.
Have you tried waxed paper?
When I was a kid on the playground and the slide wasn't slippery we used to grab sand from the area at the end of the slide, put it down the slide and slide down it, it sometimes took a while and your shorts got dirty, but I remember it working.
