How do I Remove Ren Wax from a Finished Blade?
Could Beadblast it off but do not want to contaminate the Media... Suggestions?
 
mild heat and acetone? I'm quite curious, as I may want to remove other sorts of waxes.

Carb cleaner, acetone as mentioned above would probably also work. Sandpaper, bead blast, scotchbrite.
Lots of ways.

I use Duplicolor wax/grease remover used for auto pre-paint prep. Cleans well, leaves zero film, doesn't stain.
 
Abrasives may leave traces of wax behind as the wax can transfer back from the contaminated media. Some sort of light hydrocarbon based solvent would be best, some good possibilities have been suggested, also lacquer thinner, paint thinner, even diesel fuel or gasoline in a pinch but it tends to have additives that can leave unpredictable residues. Alcohol is not effective at removing some waxes
 
36 grit sandpaper? :D



Seriously, though; I think a heat gun and careful application should do it. :thumbup::)
 
Yea thanks Danbo :)
Actually denatured alcohol and 0000Steel Wool did the trick just fine!
Thanks for your help...
