Brillo pads should do it, if you want to make sure all the wax is taken off dip the pads in Nitromorse every now and again.












Disclaimer: The above method will take the wax off your car, but may also take off the paint.

I fank you.

Motor factors will supply a wax and grease remover for the refinishing trade, might only be in 5 litres though. see if you can get some from your local refinisher (body shop)

Get the cleanser from Swissol - top quality products!

Errr.... I would suggest that you leave atleast a thin coat of polish on the paint. I have had logos on and off my race car and after taking a nice big chunk of paint off last year I always make sure there is something on the surface. I take it you are getting rally style decals? If its a small sticker then not so much of a problem.

bill's right, a bit of wax will help as a release agent. There will come a time when you'll wake up one morning and think "Oh my God, they've got to go" or when you come to sell the car.

I always thought washing up liquid does the job fine, as it cuts through the wax (also does wonders for your hands mate )

For hands that do dishes "its mild green fairy liquid" I cleaned my paint with autoglym , the stickers went on really well and stuck like the proverbial $hit to a blanket
