Wax Off

[Jim Rawson]

Does anyone have an idea how to get Johnson's floor wax off a black Jeep? Asking for a friend.  I've tried pressure washing (hot and cold), Dawn soap, microfiber, terry cloth, bug and tar remover and multiple car washes.  It just smears around.

It looks like laquer thinner will do the trick.

There are various wax removal liquids around. Amazon I'm sure has many. I keep a spray can of a prep solvent. I use it on stuff that might have some oil etc on them. Used a lot in autobody. Surface prep?
