But will any/all of the suggestions posted in this thread clean off the WAX that the OP was asking about?
Cheers
Good question, especially since Ralph didn't mention the brand or type
of wax he used to lubricate the chain. My guess(tm) is that he used a
paraffin derivative wax. Any non-polar solvent will remove such wax.
Acetone, ethanol, gasoline, and such are NOT non-polar solvents. They
won't work very well. Isopropyl alcohol is mostly non-polar and
should work. Toluene, xylene, and n-hexan are all non-polar and
should also work, if you can find them. They're all VoC's and banned
in California.
Ralph: What brand and type of wax are you trying to remove?
Better cycling through chemistry.
