I think I might have applied too much to my waxed briefcase and now there is a white residue along the seams How do you get rid of the white residue?

I suggest using a hair dryer to melt the excess wax into the fabric. If there is still excess, try soaking up the hot wax with a paper towel.

I would probably apply some heat to it..maybe with a hair dryer and as it softens, wipe off the excess.

I read here to put your waxed item in a old pillowcase and throw in the dryer. This will melt the wax and remove the white residue.http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Brown-Bag/

I have only used the Boston wax on hardwood floors and on furniture (no white spots). Don't know about getting rid of those; However, I would get rid of the spots before applying the wax and recommend very light application of wax followed by lots of light buffing with the grain.

I did a really messed up leather chair. Let product sit over night. Worked great. Hope this helps.-

If the wood is clean, you're fine straight out of the can. If the finish looks murky, or the old wax looks dirty, you may want to remove it, first. H.F. Staples Wood Cleaner is great for this. You'll be amazed at how much grime old wax can hold. Just read and follow all directions. TreWax will give you a really nice, durable shine. It's also wonderful for floors. We've used it for years, and been really satisfied.

It is a semi soft paste to be applied with a rag or oooo steel wool and wiped off with a soft towel. It is the best wax, cleaner, stain that I have ever used.

Michelle, that may not be wax, they tend to season cast iron so you don't have to. If you still feel it's wax, hot soapy water should remove that. Lynn

I used it on white wax wood. There was a little white powder residue that wiped off easily.

Scrape it off with your fingernail or you can use some soft scrub & water. Has worked for me.

There is a way. Go to the drug store and buy a product called "Goo Gone". It will remove sticky residue from absolutely anything. The cord will feel oily after the residue is gone so just wash area with warm soapy water.

I found using Goof off does a really good job and doesn't damage the cup. You might also try polish remover, too.

This only works on leather surfaces and not handbags. I would give it back to the shop and ask them to clean it for you. Good luck Tony

I would use a cleaning product first Ex. Navel or Alunimun Jelly, then apply then Renaissance wax after to protect it. What ever cleaning method you use make sure to try it on a scrap piece of metal of the same make up so you do not ruin what you are trying to clean and preserve.

I removed my pinstripes with a heat gun and still had some glue residue. Used the 3 Meguiars (ultra cut, polish and wax) with the right pads and orbital polisher. Looked brand new and no evidence of pinstripe

I have. Best result apply and let dry overnight almost like crumbles the next day. Wipe away with a damp cloth. This is the only thing, and I've tried everything, that has made mine white again. I used in my kitchen too!

That is a problem I have never had. I would try pulling all the material out and turning it well and then putting it back. Leave it uncovered for a few days to dry out a bit.

Get a waxing pad and put in on in a circular motion like any wax and wipe it off with a clean micro-cloth when it comes to a haze
