Default Detailing question
What do you guys use to clean the wax filled foam applicators of your random orbit polishers? The fact that it is wax simple water wont 'cut' it. I was thinking Dish soap? I dunno.

Thanks

Chris

Because it strips wax and lacks the lubricity of a good automotive soap. However, if you're trying to clean wax out of a sponge, it'll do the trick.
