How do I remove wax residue from the black wrinkle finish in my engine? I tried bug and tar remover with a toothbrush. It looked good while it was wet,but worse after it dried.

 

Dry stiff brush, but not so stiff it scratches. worked for me when I first bought my bike. Now I'm very careful about how close that wax gets. I'll even tape off the black now......

Some use a tooth brush and WD-40 on the area then just spray the whole engine down and start her up or pig spit

 

Thanks

 

Let us know what worked, please. I have the same issue.

 

Light brush and Dawn dish soap. Dish soap is great for removing wax.

 

Mothers back to black works good.

 

Try Prepsol and brush lightly with a tooth brush. Wipe off with a rag, wash and use the back to black. Wax is a petroleum product and it takes the same to remove it. Prepsol is used in the auto paint business for removing oils and waxes prior to paint. Won't hurt the black..

 

I had great success with olive oil removing wax from black textured plastic parts on my truck.
