Why does floor paste wax dissolve dried spray adhesive like Super 77 but solvents like MEK, Acetone and Denatured Alcohol have little to no effect?

Looking for some basic explanation or chemistry here. MEK usually eats all gooey stuff but dried spray adhesive it will not. Floor paste wax eats the spray adhesive like no buddies business/little effort. How is this possible?

Chemysterymajor’s answer is correct and well-put, it’s all about polarity of the molecules involved.

I just want to say “no buddies business” is possibly the best and most wholesome /r/BoneAppleTea moment I’ve ever seen. The phrase is ” like nobody’s business”.
