Waxoil in engine bay

[Bear]

Hi, Anyone got any good products/tips for removing Waxoil from my engine bay? Previous owner made a right old mess of it.

any good degreaser would work , but if it was mine id keep it there to stop corrosion

Waxoyl is white spirit based, so that would dissolve it, will be a messy job though. Problem with leaving it there is every time you lift the bonnet you get covered, and I daresay it's all over everything.

Steam cleaner....

Gunk, brake cleaner and a stiff brush to work it in. Any de-greaser/solvent will soften it. Work in small areas at a time though and be prepared to get covered in black spots!

And don't do it on your newly block paved drive.Her indoors won't like it.

If you use your Minor daily, Waxoyl is NOT the thing to use - total waste
of time!!

ONLY 100% guarantee to stop rust is a mixture of Engine Oil, Grease &
Vaseline.

Thanks for the warning Chris, my pickup has been waxoyled for 15 years. I only hope it's not too late to scrape it all off in favour of your recipe!
