[TR] how to remove wax from windscreen gasket?

[Joe Curry]

I am venturing that the stuff you are describing is the same sort of stuff
that was on my Spitfire gaskets.  It turned brown after a while and was
quite disgusting.  I removed it with some cleaner that is designed for
cleaning the surface of auto bodies prior to painting.  It is called
Acryli-Clean (from PPG) and goes by other names from other suppliers. NAPA
calls it Final Prep (or something similar)/

No, it really is wax.  I've rolled up a ball of it so far.
