Hi Dave, I haven't had good success with mineral spirits (paint thinner) either. I think it leaves a whitish residue of it's own. VM&P naphtha seems to be a much cleaner solvent. I used to use a product from JASCO called "Wax Wash", but I haven't been able to locate a source for it lately. I have some Mohawk silicone wash and it works very nicely. Of what I've used that's still available, I think it would be my first choice - then naphtha.
