Thompsons WaterSeal Advanced has been on the market
for a couple of years. The label promises "Easy soap & water
clean-up," the product apparently reformulated so as to comply

In practice, soap and water cleanup is by no means "easy."
The product contains some sort of wax that repels water
(and I dare say makes it effective on timber.) But what
sort of solvent can actually dissolve this component
so we can clean our brushes for reuse?

Paraffin wax requires hydrocarbon solvent. I'd do best with soap and
water first then maybe paint thinner.

I've used product before and after reformulation to remove VOC's and
once mediocre product is now even poorer in protecting wood.
