    Default Wax removal from B&Q porcelain tiles

    I need help. I bought about 45 square meters of the large beige B&Q porcelain tiles. I have them laid and am trying to remove the transit wax coating before sealing and grouting. I have been using the B&Q recommended product (heavy duty deep clean) to remove the wax but it isn't great and is taking forever (tried it 3 times) and there is still wax remaining on the tiles and it is not a good job. Is any other products that you would recommend to take this wax off ? (I am beginning to regret buying these tiles).

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the advice scott. I presume you used the aqua clean nano scrub product.
    Since my post I have read some other threads and they either recommend the aqua clean nano scrub or the lithofin abra cleaner.
    Will either of these do the job or is one better than the other does anyone know ?

    I had this same problem a few weeks ago. Use LTP Grimex ( Link ) It works really well but takes a bit of elbow grease
