Baked on compound won’t come off
I have a new to me RV. Someone cleaned it up pretty good before I bought it. I went to wax it with 925 fiberglass wax and noticed a couple areas where old product was left on. I’m no pro and need help on how to remove it. I have a DA and various pads. I’ve tried collinite fiberglass cleaner and a lite abrasive polish with no luck. More shine but no removal. I can’t even use my fingernail to scrape any off. Looking for suggestions for a novice. One section is 2x2 and others are palm size. Thank you

Re: Baked on compound won’t come off
Have you tried washing really thoroughly with soapy water?
How about Glass Cleaner?

Or mix up some soapy water in a spray bottle - then spray an scrub with a terry cloth hand towel or wash cloth.
Spray and scrub

Most compounds are water soluble. The soap helps to emulsify the mess and adds some lubrication.

Re: Baked on compound won’t come off
I found luck with Blackfire wax remover. Spray it on a few times and wipe off. Then cover with a damp towel for an hour to soften the old compound. Come back with another application of Blackfire wax remover and it usually starts to break up.
May have to repeat these steps a few times.
I have also had to VERY CAREFULLY spray with water and use a plastic razor blade.
