Good luck tomorrow with the Dyno. I will guess and say 365/375. Asuming you have all intake mods done and pulley. Post a thread when you find out.

My fingers work great for me. The oil from your hands can do the trick. However, the wax I have removed was in small quantities; you have a finite amount of hand oil.

a small amount of olive oil with a tooth brush or detailer brush, then I follow up with NXT vinyl treatment. Works like a charm!!!

guys keep it simple, just use a scotch bright pad and get it wet, and the wax comes right off. the same pad that you use to wash your dishes.

Those are too rough. They will scratch the material.
