    I looked at the MSDS sheets for Zep and Zep 505. The 505 has some nasty stuff in it. The regular ZEP is 100 times safer.

    help-cleaning tires

    The suds stopped turing brown after my ninth washing. I used a leaf blower to dry the tires and saw that the tires were still blotchy. That's when I took a trip to the dealership and then to the detailers who washed it off with the denatured alcohol.

I went next door to the dealership where they do...

    What removes wax from canvas??

    You can try peanut oil or peaunt butter. Rub it in, wait a couple of minutes to give time for the oil to disolve the wax and wipe it off. Wash the canvas to remove the peanut oil.
