Hi Guys

I waxed my Trail stock with Birchwood Casey wax.Looks great, except there's dry wax in the engraving. Anyone ever have that problem and any ideas on the best way to get it out?

Thanks Ray

Would a toothbrush work?

Thanks Ray

Yes, the tooth brush will work.

We save our old, soft tooth brushes to "brush polish" wax in cracks, creases and grain of vinyl or leather tops when detailing cars. Works great - just brush with the line of wax not across it.

I got a stiff China 2.5 inch paint brush from the hardware store (the ones that have black bristles), and I use it to remove the dry wax on my car and out of the cracks in the gun stock. Shouldn't scratch any thing but stiff enough to do the job.

Thanks Guys.
Toothbrush did the trick. That dry wax in the engraving really looks like crap. But its gone now.

Thanks Ray
