Been waxing cans for 40 years now s f never had any problems. Figure if you can put it on a $75k car you can put it on a beer or soda can. Found these two cans yesterday in Monroe NC and after waxing the Coke some of the ink/ paint came off guess it’s because it’s a foreign can. Lol.

Also have had problems with Windex on drawn steel cans.

I've found that waxing aluminum cans will ruin them, i.e. take the paint off. Anyone out there have a different experience waxing aluminum?

Never use Windex on a can...it will smudge the paint right off

I use the cheapest all-purpose lemon scented cleaner that I can find.... and use it on 10+ cans a day.
