Default Wax on Windshield Washer Sprayer

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

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.
