SER1 Removing Waxoyl or similar from underneath car

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/06/12]

I have an E type Jag that  was well and truly coated with waxoyl  or 
something similar at least 18 years ago.

I guess the copious quantities that some one used then is what has saved 
it until now.

I now need to remove this so that I can start preparing the body etc for 
a renovation/restoration

Does  anyone have any suggestions as to what can be sprayed on if 
possible and then pressure sprayed off.

So far the only thing that has worked anywhere near successfully has 
been mineral turps and elbow grease and then a good degreaser to remove 
the final traces of waxoyl

The bonnet was done this way and then given a light sandblast and came 
up really well  It is now time to attack the big bits  especially the 
rear wheel arches and the rear end area and the rest of the under body 
areas..

Thanks
