Hi:
I remember many years ago I talked to a fireman about what they used to
get crud off their fire engines, and I believe he said 'kerosene'.
Seems odd, at first, but my understanding was that while it will strip
the wax off, it won't harm the paint.
Okay, short pause while I test this. Don't want to give you bad info.
I just went downstairs, put some kerosene on a rag and rubbed it on the
Tiger's paint. NO damage to the paint.
Sorry, my mind makes strange connections sometimes; I figured I ought
not suggest the Kerosene until I had tried it and confirmed it would
work and as I went downstairs to test it on my car, I thought of the
following cartoon published in the late '30's in the New Yorker (war was
looming), so here's where things go sort of off-topic/ off-color:
First panel: a reporter is writing a story on how, during times of
crisis, the Germans ate dogs when there was no other food available. He
gets to the part where he writes "...is commonly called 'blockade
mutton.' It is...".
Next panel: He stops, looks thoughtful.
Next panel shows him going into the research department.
Next panel, he comes out looking frustrated.
Next panel, he's going into a pet store.
Next panel he's coming out of the pet store with a dog.
Next panel he carries the dog into a restaurant that has a sign saying
"we cook special dishes to your order".
Next panel he's coming OUT of the restaurant empty handed, looking a
little sad, and two waiters are peering around the door at him like he's
got two heads.
Last panel, he's sitting in front of his typewriter finishing the
sentence: "tough, gamy, strong flavored."
Like I said, there's a connection there but it's somewhat odd--Like me,
I guess.
Hope the Kerosene works for you.
Best Regards
David Sosna
