Anybody know the best way to remove wax oil from the chassis/running gear
Last owner used the black stuff which I want remove and recover with the clear translucent stuff. I know a standard jet wash won't even go near it.
Just wondered if there was a decent cleaning agent or detergent. The can says use soapy water but this is for over spray when the oil is still wet
TIA

Will head off to B&q today for some parafin, Diesel sounds ok but will stink the car and drive though it would probably help with an ongoing Cat/pussy problem I have flippin pests.
Thanks Fella's

WD40 also does a great job, but works out expensive if your doing the whole chassis.
