Removing wax

[Mark Story]

Hi Dave,

I haven't had good success with mineral spirits (paint thinner) either.  I
think it leaves a whitish residue of it's own.  VM&P naphtha seems to be a
much cleaner solvent.  I used to use a product from JASCO called "Wax
Wash", but I haven't been able to locate a source for it lately.  I have
some Mohawk silicone wash and it works very nicely.  Of what I've used
that's still available, I think it would be my first choice - then naphtha.
