What removes wax from a car?

While not sold or marketed as a vehicle cleaner, I've found plain Dawn dish soap works great for removing car wax. It's easier to find than most dedicated wax removers, relatively cheap and packs just the right amount of grease and wax cutting power to clean your car without harming the paint.

Is Meguiars Ultimate Polish abrasive?

It contains no abrasives so it just needs to be worked into the paint gently like any other glaze. It has no corrective power, it simply masks and fills defects. By hand, I'd use a microfibre pad and just gently work 3 or 4 pea sized drops into an 18" x 18" area then buff carefully. Follow with a wax or sealant.

How do you remove dried wax?

Scrape off excess wax. Lay a damp, lint-free white cloth over the wax and apply medium heat with an iron; the wax will adhere to the cloth. Use rubbing alcohol to remove residue.
