Waxoil removal

[STEALTH K3]

Whats the best way to remove this I dont have a steam cleaner I have a Karcher power washer though. The wax is black on a 15 year old Golf

Waxoyl uses white spirit as the 'carrier' if I remember correctly. This evaporates leaving the waxy protection behind.

If it is Waxoyl then white spirit will also soften and remove it.

waxoil uses white spirit to 'creep' into the surface area to allow it to bond properly!
a pressure washer at close range will remove it, although have to say if its on a 15 yr old golf and there are no signs of chassis rust etc i would be tempted to leave it there as its obviously working!
the old 'aint broke dont fix it' rings a bell!

Blow gun? Be careful if you use a blow torch, fuel lines etc don't mix well.

Petrol and a rag so how spray it on brush it on whats the best way

[richie.guy]

Spray it onto the area so it has some dwell time.

Them get wiping.

It will take a while.

Kerosene and a toothbrush if you're feeling macho lol

Good question! I want to do this on the engine bay of my Mk2 Valver, the leaking black waxoyl spoils an otherwise nice and clean engine bay....
