    Quick question, best way to remove waxoil??

    As above, my new nova has had all doors/arches waxoiled from the inside.

    Want to remove it completely, then epoxy resign. (giving a chemical bond to the inner and outer skins, and stops water from getting in between and cracking it open and eventually rusting. I will then waxoil on top of it. Done this on my other nova, and friends ones with great success)

    Just its not gonna work unless the waxoil thats every where is removed completely

    White spirit soaked rags, lots of. Then maybe a final flush out with white spirit, possibly in one of those hand spray gun pumps, if you can find one that doesn't get affected by the spirit.

    Although TBH if the waxoyl is currently in good condition and the seams etc appear good also, I would just top up the waxoyl, it's obviously done a fine job so far.

    Mods round the bend...
    Pressure wash it, then use a credit card to scrap it off, then a degreaser/thinners!

    Arches are fine, just drivers door seam is just started to crack (about 15mm at the rear drain hole, No rust what so ever, and the doors like new otherwise, so once cleaned out the epoxy would chemically re-join it, and it will be good as new again

    Dam im gonna have fun, its nasty sticky, messy stuff lmao
