I was once advised that one of the best ways was to go to the local DIY Car
Wash. Hose off the Anchorseal with hipressure, hot, soapy water. You'll only
be wetting the surface (unless you let the pieces sit in the puddle for hours.

No I haven't tried it, but the idea sounds reasonable. Anchorseas is a Water
Based sealer.

It is a water emulsion of wax, but once the water has evaporated it is
just wax. No harm trying, though. It probably has a surfactant or
detergent mixed in with it, so it may re-distribute in water under those
conditions.
