Best way to clean off wax?

[Habib]

I want to apply some "Wrap My Spyder" decals. I already have a few that I put on when it was new and they stick on great. I have more to apply but have also applied a couple coats of carnuba wax. Has anyone had problems with the recommended alcohol cleaning not working?

Maybe Prep Sol. It's used to remove wax before painting. Most auto parts stores sell it or auto body paint stores also have it.

Dawn dishwashing liquid will remove wax on a car so I am sure it would work great on your bike. In the world of waxes, Carnauba doesn't last all that long. The longer in the sun, the Carnauba breaks down.

Varsol

When I called Turtle Wax because their wax wouldn't go off my mate car moulding, they recommended varsol with a tooth brush. It did the job in a snap....

Never heard of varsol. Any idea what else it might be called? I am familiar with "PrepSol" though, i'ts used prior to painting as a final cleaner. Is that what varsol is?

Go to an automotive autobody and paint supply
company in your town and buy a can of
3M or Dupont wax and grease remover,
That is the best way.

I wouldn't use paint thinner or varsol on my paint. It does exactly what it says. "Paint thinner"

You can also get a paint cleaner which will remove the wax.

There is no wax in this and it will clean your paint without hurting it.
