I'm trying to remove the dried up wax that whoever previously did it left in every crack and crevice. I'm looking for something faster that what i've been trying to use which is a toothbrush and a deck of cards lol. It needs to be safe for the paint, rubber trim, chrome pretty much everything since they got it everywhere Darren had mentioned Varsol in another thread, but I did a google search which didn't lead to anyplace that had it readily available?

You could try a 1" wide paint bush, just cut it down about 3/4 of it's length, makes it a little stiffer. Varsol, is the "Canadian" brand name of mineral spirits, any hardware store will have it.
Varsol, is a trade mark owned by Imperial Oil, which is really Exxon...it doesn't make sense..we don't have Exxon in Canada, we have Esso...which if you see the 2 side by side, they look the same??? In every other country than the USA, Exxon is know as Esso....weird... We call them serviettes, so they don't get mixed up with the sanitary napkins....
Yea my wife told me I spelled serviettes wrong. I guess I had better stay on this side of the river. Hockey training camp in a week YEA
Thanks everyone i'll try some of the things mentioned. I'm mostly worried about the trim package since I assume the black insert between the trim is just held by adhesive I dont want to use anything that will eat away the adhesive and loosen it.
