I bought my chassis as an unstarted luego chassis (just cut metal) and the guy i bought it from waxoyled all the metal and now the chassis is built and almost ready for painting was wondering what is the best way to remove the waxoyl coating.

I was intending to build it from scratch but was offered this chassis and all the running gear from a mk2 escort including twin 40 webbers for £200 so couldn't say no

I'd like to know also if there's any easy way as I usually just scrape, burn it off or use solvents...

I saw an advert in a classic's mag for some dip process that removed absolutely everything except the good metal but that won't be cheap.

Thinner!
Petrol
And other solvent

Or just leave it on...

I used the stuff on my JBA Falcon from day one. Every year I'd power wash it down and apply another coat, thinned down with solvents and some petrol (cough!) after 10 years it was about 10mm thick in places and the chassis as good as new underneath. At one of the shows I spoke to other owners and was stunned to find that they had parts of their chassis replaced due to rust. Even now mines mint, so the stuff does work though it's never pretty.

Don't know if they have changed the formulation but the original waxoyle was easily removed with White Spirit - very cheap from the local DIY shed.
You may need to finally wipe over with some cellulose thinners to remove the last traces before painting.

You can thin it with white sprit still so this is a good start..

Dan

Hot jet wash with detergent or steam clean.

It melts at fairly modest temps.

Go over with white sprit etc. to drive water away.

If you set about doing it with rags and solvent it'll take ages.

Whatever method you use, finish off with spirit wipe befre painting.
