Removing Waxoyl
« on: February 19, 2017, 20:49:22 »
Hi all,

The big clean has begun - my Wee has been protected for years by Waxoyl on many parts - is paraffin the way back to original surfaces?

Cheers,

Simon

No use Muc off or Gunk Ultra Degreaser, Paraffin not good for paintwork, OK on the chain. :thumb:

Or wd40 maybe, seems to work for everything else... Takes tar off pretty quickly too.
