clean and degrease the slide really well.. no solvents left on it. then you take a crayon and rub it over. I'm not sure if the slide has to be warmed a bit or not. but it's done with crayon. Or there are laquer sticks that can be used too. I'm sure someone else will give more detailed instructions. I haven't ever done this, I just know that's what they use.

I got mine nice and warm with a blow dryer first, the crayon melts into the crevices then, afterward you let it cool and then you clean the excess off the slide with a stiff piece of paper or cardboard.

I've wanted to do this since i saw the first picture or it, but what happens to the crayon after I put 200 rounds through it at the range? Wont it just melt out and make a mess?
