Nah, you can use a rubber wheel attachment on an angle grinder :)

You can but angle grinder and rubber wheel would be much easier. Rubber wheel's arent too expensive and a grinder is a good investment and aren't too expensive either!

It depends on how thick it is, sometimes it can just pull off in chunks, try some WD40 and wrap some cloth around your finger, give it a good soaking, and try and work the WD under the sealer

Don't use thinners, it could affect your paint

I used Autosmart Tardis. Didn't come off easy but no paint damage.

I used WD40 a rag round my finger to rub off loose and work the paraffin into the resin, a plastic filler spatula could then be used to pry off the rest.
Don rush it or you will feck the paint.

After I got it off i used T cut to polish off the marks and shine.
