<br>Reason for this question is I have been asked to use a non-abrasive stripper to remove wax prior to honing and polishing and I don&#39;t recall this being a suggested method in my training.<br><br>Also, have any of you guys successfully  bid on a government job? I am working through one right now and access was limited to one short visit of job site and Im expected to go off their plans and pictures. If any of you have had to fight a battle similar to this and have advise I would appreciate it.<br>
