ok the other night there was a candle sitten infront of my valve cover on my desk, and my girlfriend goes over to blow it out and next thing i know she says there is a situation. i go over to find scented candle wax all over the cover. so my question is how do i get the damn wax off the cover? i need to know fast im putting my engine in as we speak and cant let my brother see the cover. PLEASE HELP!

 

pick it off with your nails. just don't scratch valve cover.

**** happens.

your a guy, why you lighting candles???

 

Heat it up with a hair dryer so the wax melts again, the wipe it off.

If you ahve ever felt a vlave cover after driving the car for a while, they get very hot, so heat doesnt really bother them.

 

just buy a new one, they're only $125!

jk

I think he may have been "setting the mood" so they say...

Damn buddy, secure with yourself?

Anyway, it's just wax, scrape it off... Works on skin, should work on valvecovers...

 

Don't worry about it. When you put it on your car, the heat will make the wax evaporate... or fluid enough for you to wipe it off.

 

had a candle lite because the room smells a lil foul. lol well im about to try the blow dryer and see what happens

where would i be with out HT members. mucho thanks

 

if all else fails, i used to work at a body shop, and we had some stuff called "wax and grease remover" that didn't affect paint. it will work perfectly. BTW- thats pretty funny that your girl was kinda afraid to tell you that you had "a situation" ha ha ha ha ha. it's a damn valve cover, you know? sure it's nice, but to a "normal" person (non-car guy), they wouldn't even think twice about it. ha ha, oh well, good luck

 

dude its no big deal, it will come off eventually. It wont effect performance or anything and thats where it matters.

 

I love candles. Right now I'm using a candle from the Pottery Barn
