Ok guys...I don't post very often however I need some advice on how to clean the black on the hood of my 69 and 70 Road runner they have Wax residue on it and it drives me nuts!!
 
A soft sponge and windex, the windex will break down the wax without harming the paint, follow with liquid soap and water. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
 
Ammonia will not hurt paint so that would be a good one to try.
Or my wife uses ammonia mixed with water on under hood items like the air cleaner.
Another product that cuts grease and wax is Dawn.
Each season after the cars have sat all winter, I wash the entire car with Dawn and remove a coating of old wax before they get another polishing.

Thanks for this answer Old Skool I've been wondering the same thing.
 
Use warm or hot water an dawn to remove any wax build up.........not sure what to use for a sealer though........might want to ask anyone that has the "satin" paint on their vehicle...sometime reffered to as matte finish to see what they use if anything at all.................
