How do I clean old waxoyl from plastic

[Rob Farmer]

I've got layer upon layer of waxoyl on a plastic airbox, moisture has got behind the waxoyl making it got a milky colour. Whats the best way to strip the old waxoyl off?

Brake Cleaner or WD40

Thanks Beono. I've tried the WD40 but there's years of layers built up. I'll give the brake cleaner a go though. I had thought of warming it up with a hot air gun but I'm worried about melting the plastic.

Get washing up bowl.
Put 3 squirts of Fairy liquid in.
Fill 2/3rds with water as hot as you can bear
put placcy bits in and after 3 mins soak scrub lightly with wifes old washing up brush
After. put washing up brush in dishwasher, rinse out bowl and return to kitchen sink.
