wax is product that helps protect paintwork and various items from the elements. Please do a google search or take a visit to a library, and once again please dont name call. I would hate to report it so lets dont call people names.

Its stubborn! Just as well there`s some more ideas here,cos WD40 wasn`t that effective,plus I was worried about the paint.I got another idea to pop it down to a panelbeaters and get them to cut & polish it off.might be pricy,so thanks for extra ideas.I might give hot water and soap/turps a go tomorrow
