ok I waxed my lava for the first time last weekend and apparently got some wax on the sprayers...now when I spray I only get 2 streams of fluid instead of 6 any suggestions?

Try using a small pin to clean out the wax.

That's exactly what my tC owners' manual says *NOT* to do.

I had the same thing happen to me, and I used an old toothbrush to get the wax out. It might take a couple of times to get it completely clean. Use the toothbrush, then hit the squirters, repeat until clean. Good luck

I thought I was being helpful. I would also know what it says, I'll check my xB manual.

It *doesn't* say what to do. Otherwise I would've told you. It just says not to use a pin. I wasn't trying to be an ___ about it, I was actually trying to be helpful. Didn't want you to break your little squirty jobbies.

yeah a tooth brush will work. This very thing has happened to me not only on my Scion XB but on my Festiva too.

sorry it's chill... I ended up using a staple that was bent straight...it worked a lil bit still not the same :( I'll try the toothbrush tomorrow...

I hope you get them to work right, I was just trying to help with some info. It happen to me a long time ago on my 91 Z24 but that time I used a toothpick.

horse-haired detail brush wont scratch like a toothbrush. its also great for removing wax around vinyl decals and pinstripes
