So I waxed fully yesterday and didn't realize until today that I got wax in the windshield wiper fluid thingy's on the hood. The left one is more/less fine, its squirting out 4 streams, but the right one is all out of whack.

Will this resolve itself over time or should I just buy new nozzles?
If so, are they expensive

Thanks!

Just clean them out with a tooth pick or pin and you will be fine.

um, try turtle wax ice.

you know when you wax plastic trim, how it leaves white behind?
turtle wax ice cleans that away, and makes everything shine....

OR... maybe just pick at it a bit more??

ya I just cleaned all the wax out, if u look closely enough into the nozzles, the little guys inside there turn, not sure if they are supposed to or not. So now that I know its not the wax, I wonder if it will be covered under warranty.

They can be turned, just put in a pin, adjust, remove pin, spray, repeat if necessary.

LOL.. I noticed a while back when a detailer friend of mine would use green painters masking tape to cover all plastic trim, antenna and spray nozzles. I just re did it without asking why.. now I know..LOL

Worst case Phil disconnect the washer hose and use a blow gun and clear the nozzles.
