Waxy-like "Zeibart" material sprayed in engine bay > Need to remove
I wonder if our 95 TA was coated with some kind of rustproofing material like Zeibart or something. There is a semi-clear waxy substance sprayed on all the painted surfaces under the hood. The car is black, but these painted surfaces are a very dull black. I have pealed a little of it off revieling a shiny black paint below it.
How do you get this crap off? I have tried Brake Cleaner, Carb Cleaner..... Nothing seems remove it. I would try Laquer Thinner, but that will more than likely remove not only this waxy crap, but the paint under it too.

This is probably nothing more than one of the cheap used car dealer detailing tricks.
Rather than spend the money on good vinyl/rubber dressing, sometimes they buy the $0.88 cans of clear coat paint. They then coat EVERYTHING under the hood of the car. Looks GREAT for about 3 months (the time it takes to sell the car) then starts to turn cloudy and peel.
I'd bet you a beer that is nothing more than clear coat paint out of a paint can in your engine compartment.
