Frame coating removal

[CovetedStyle]

Has anyone here found a simple and successful way to completely remove the factory wax frame coating other than a torch? I’m going to be pulling me suspension back apart here shortly and would really like to strip it and paint it while apart. Any legitimate info the you have personally tried would be appreciated.

I have inadvertently removed the coating with B12 chem tool when I was replacing the oil pan gasket on my 2006 Silverado. It softened it up and was relatively easy to wipe off the frame when it happened.

You can also use fluid film. When I did my truck it turned it into like a grease and it wipes right off.

Thank you gentlemen! I appreciate it. I’ll look into both. Also I have another question it’s actually for a friend of mine because we are discussing this last night and i’m almost positive that I read on some thread on here before so maybe somebody can point me in the right direction. Didn’t somebody at sometimes say that they knew of the manufacture of the frame coating  and that you could get it in a aerosol can spray? He told me he tried to go directly to his Chevy dealership but they said there was nothing of the sort but I’m almost positive that I’ve seen it mentioned on here at least once or twice.

It's made by a company called Daubert.

Pretty sure a dealer can get it for you if they want....

 

Sometimes a busy parts person just finds it easier to say 'no' than to find out / look it up.

You are the man!! Now do you happen to know which coating number it is since there’s like 50 of them? Haha

Yes the OEM coating is daubert noxrust x121-b. I use it for touch up when the fluid film washes away too much lol

I really appreciate all you guys! Ask a question and get an answer I would so much rather talk to you guys then anyone at a dealership. And I used to run the body shop for one lol

I personally think the OEM coating is best when you add fluid film / woolwax. It softens it and turns it into a grease. This way here there is essentially 0 chance of it peeling and water / salt getting trapped. My 2016 frame looks better than new IMO and I live in Rhode Island.

I'll just throw this out there 

I remember a few years back I was washing one of my trucks in the winter. I ran pure hot water in my pressure washer. 

When I held it in one spot on the frame it blasted the wax right off  clean.

I bet if you had one of those heated power washers you could blast it clean in a couple hours. Just an idea for ya.
