how do you remove?

Just got home...

looked like cat splatter on the carpet..

but it's wax! doggone women knocked a candle over. she's beating it up with a screwdriver to break up the cold wax and vacuum it.




is there a better solution to fix this?

try using ice. SHould make it brittle. I think i heard that somewhere anyways. Worth a try.
Why not use a hair dryer and some paper towels. I've gotten it up before doing this. It takes a while to get it all out but it worked.

thats cool(hairdryer), but you would think by heating the wax it would spread causing the wax ( and dye ) to spread even more, making a larger stain, or deeper anyways.

Anywhoo, what ever works right? let us know so we can let our wives know.. haahaa

Get a can of that 'dust-off' stuff. (kinda like compressed air, but with different chemicals).

INVERT the can and spray it on the wax...INSTANT FREEZE!

When the can is inverted the stuff that comes out is like a liquid-nitrogen effect! It's cooooold! (don't get it on yer skin!

Anyway, once it's frozen, just scrape it off.
you can get the most of it up by getting it cold then melt whats left with a hairdryer.
Use an iron on a low setting with paper towels. Works great!!!!
we were just going to ask this very question, ill post pics of before and after, its a huge amount(dont ask)of wax
I thought I had stumbled into the Martha Stewart forum for a minute there.

Place the rear tire of your Busa on it and do a burnout.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I've heard that your insurance company will cover replacing it due to knocking a candle over...

I hope it's not a rumor; been thinking of "dumping" a candle on my carpet for years to get some new stuff in the house!

Call the insurance co; it's worth a shot...
