Cleaning off old waxoyl / oil / grime

I'm currently playing / restoring my MK1 Campaign and 320CE Merc. I've found that paint thinners is really effective at cleaning up oily / waxy area's. it seems better than GUNK etc. is there a problem using it?

Thanks S.

I found that using the mig welder inside the car, sets the waxoyl underneath on fire, simple just blow out the flames and remove the burnt underseal with a scraper :lol:

First Golf, lots of work. I've started so I'll finish!

Thinners can and will eat paint and rubber parts

Use White spirit and you will have no problems

A wire brush on a drill or angle grinder may also come in handy for the stickier parts..
