An automotive parts supply house that also sells auto finishing products
will have a wax and tar remover in gallon cans that is inexpensive.

I am preparing to paint my sailboat and need to remove waxes and
polishes on the surface to get a good bond. All the paint suppliers
have their proprietary hull cleaners / dewaxers that are very
expensive.

Aren't these cleaners just mineral spirits or ??

Thanks,

Colin
