i couldnt believe how easy it was, the wax just turns to a liquid on contact with it and comes straight off, then i went on to cleaning it off my wheels,
whole job took me 5 mins tops (compared to about 20 mins using wd40 and a brush) rust came straight off too.
and for the price of the parafin (i paid about 1 pound for a litre) its well worth using over WD40.
only trouble is - is it can harm your 0-rings if left on for too long, so make sure you rinse off with lots of water.

hah the joys of spring eh?
Thats exactly what ive been up to today but i didnt know it was bad for the old o/x rings
I didnt even rinse mine after i cleaned it. Just went for a blast round the block and re-applied my wax.
Hope it'll be ok now.
What dd you do with the left over dirty parrafin mate?
I have a cup full of the stuff with a very dirty toothbrush in it waiting for answers..
And yes i said toothbrush...i like to meticulous sometimess ok?
