removing polish

blue_B · 10-31-2004, 03:37 PM

i bought a truck that has leftover wax, probably couple years or more, the wax is in all the cracks, emblems, wiper cowl,windows, mirrors, practically everywhere thats not a smooth surface..

so i was just wondering whats the easiest way to get rid of it? i been goin with water and a toothbrush for the past couple weeks.

Try Dawn Dish soad the original blue bottle it should remove all the wax. Make sure to put some protection on right away wax or polish.

alchohol might work do a test area first to make sure it doesnt mar the surface or try ssome soapy water, or atoothpick, if you cant get it off spray paint some flat black on a paper towel and dab it to the spots that will cover it

Try a detail spray. Just spray the white residue and wipe with a "soft" toothbrush, paint brush or Qtip.
I have used sonus quick detail spray in the past and it removed the sonus detail spray http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?autopia+yc5RwM+index.html++

Actually,, Origional Sunlight Dish soap works the best,,, the label used to say, do not use on automotive paint, will remove wax.. also go to your parts store, ask them for a wax removal liquid. Dominion Sure Seal makes a product called Sure Solve, it will remove wax and the build up white stuff too, without hurting the clear.
