Hi
As part of my restoration, I have applied clear waxoyl to the underside of the boot area, and heelboard of my mini. The car will be a show car, only to be taken out in dry weather.
I have noe fitted the subframe, and want to reove the visible areas of waxoyl, as it will attract dirt. I still want to keep then waxoyl in vulnerable areas like the subbby mount positions, heelboard etc.

How can i remove the reat of the waxoyl? Would white spirit do it?

Thanks
John

Like they say use white spirits etc, you can either brush it on the areas you want & wipe off with a rag or use a spray bottle (plant type) to spray it & then clean it off.
