    Default underbonnet wax oil removal

    Help! I am struggling to remove wax oil under the bonnet on my white nova. Its been on since new i have tried the following:

    Tar and glue
    Tfr
    Thinners
    White spirit

    I have had a bit of joy with soaking it in carb cleaner but its taking a long time. I ve done the drivers side but got the passenger side to do which has alot of hard to reach areas. Anyone know what else i can try?

    Worth a punt but I used this stuff about 8 years ago on my old 1.2, I had the original sealant on the seams and it looked crÃ*p, got some of this and with a little elbow grease brought it up a treat
