Have a body that I polished out with novus and then applied the treatment. Wasn't happy with the bodywork so I redid it, but the areas I didn't rework still have the polish and wax on it. How can I strip this. Stripping the paint off is ok too, but I don't want to disturb the bodywork. paint is tamiya spray and bodywork done with evercoat "metal glaze". Maybe 91 % alcohol?

TIA :D

I would use one of the autobody products designed for this purpose. I have Dupont Prepsol I've used for 1:1 painting. I wipe it on with one shop paper towel and wipe it off with a second. If you are paranoid, you can do this a couple of times!

You can buy this at autobody supply stores, but I think you can also find something similiar at Home Depot or similiar stores.

Alcohol will work, but if you use the regular "low octane" 35% rubbing alcohol, you should be able to remove the wax without disturbing the paint.

Detergent and running water with a soft toothbrush to get into all the tight spots would help too...
