removing transit wax

[Spud]

I have laid a 120sqm polished porcelain floor which has a heavy layer of transit wax on it ,I went to several tile shops to get some products that are normally used for this type of job available to me were lithofin wexa and a fila chemicals wax and residue remover from topps tiles ,for 4 small cans I was charged over £50 from topps tiles with my trade discount ,understandably I was a bit miffed at having to pay such prices so I went to a small decorating centre near the job and purchased 5 litres of methylated spirits and 2 rolls of mutton cloth with cost me £15
I decided to do a test area with the meths which i poured onto a tile scrubbed with a white emulsifying pad while the meths was still moist i cleaned it of with the mutton cloth and the tile came up beautifully clean and shiny.
I returned the expensive cans back to the tile shop and can recommend methylated spirits to remove transit wax but do stress do a test tile first to check it is suitable

Always worth a try but I had the same issue with some wax and nothing would move it without a lot of elbow grease. I tell customers now about it and its chargeable if its stubborn.
