Default Wax in my washers

Hi chaps

Waxed the old boy the other day, now my screen washers wont work, pretty sure they got a bit of wax in them, any ideas of the best way to clear it? Tried blowing down the tube and almost passed out!!! Thinking of maybe removing them so i can have a good go at it?

Cheers lads.

Digit, it depends on how far down the wax has got, I'm hoping it's just the front of the jet, if that's the case something small should be fine but just be careful you don't stick it in and pierce the rubber.

The other possibility is using warm water (over body temp but not boiling) should melt the was away mixed with some good screenwash.

Don't mean to be too patronising but have you checked the fuse?

Stick a pin in the end, or a needle, then give it a squirt!

take it to your dealer and ask them to blow it out with an air line. any decent dealer will not charge you. if they want to charge you go away.
or see the lads in the workshop and ask them to do it for you.

Maybe use the air line at a petrol station to blow it out? Ya might look a bit stupid but it just might work.
