Default wax on powdercoat

My primary covers look kind of milky because the previous owner waxed them. How can I get the powdercoat clean?

why the hell would someone wax their wrinkle powdercoat?

soap and water with a sponge should do it.

you gotta get that wax off.

I could be wrong but everything I have powder coated gets fine scratches alot easier than paint. It is more durable against deep scratches and chips though.

that the same thing I experienced as well. It was a real nightmare keeping the tins looking good when mine were gloss black. If you want a more durable finish against swirl marks and fine scratches, you need a better clearcoat on your tins.
