It's time to remove 30+ layers of wax. I have reviewed 3M's web site. They appear to have a comprehensive product line. I request you share your experience with wax removal. Thank You

I use some greaser made by Johnson wax, J-600. One of it's uses is to strip wax floors. It works wonders also. Dx330 is easier to get for most folks.

If Silicone based wax was used I may have to wash two or three times. If a repaint was my objective then DX330 would be the best approach. When the water comes off in sheets, you're done.
