Hey everyone.. I had my car painted a while ago and the bastards left wax in the sparyers!.. The wax has become hard and impossible to get out by just washing the area.. possibly a cleaner ? does anyone know how to get the gunk out becasue its becoming hard to drive without cleaning solution!! ahhhggg.
Thanks, Craig

Just get a small sewing needle, and poke the hole open.
A sewing needle can also be used to redirect the sprayer nozzles to a different point on your windshield.

It's kind of fun actually to direct them off the side of your car, and then pull up to a person standing at a bus stop, and then spray them.... err I mean your windshield....

He's been spending more time here than normal (unless its just that he's been posting more, but still) that I'm getting scared...

Yeah that's how I adjust mine. I think it even sasy to do that in the shop manual.

but if you were to poke a hole to redirect it towards someone on the sidewalk, you would have to poke a new hole in the side, or can you turn the whole thing to face the sidewalk?

I have a question about the rear washer actually.... maybe I didn't notice this before until just recently, but my nozzle on the back seems to just let the fluid pour out in a stream rather than actualy "spray" outwards in a multi-directional sort of way. It's kinda hard to explain... you know how when you pick up a spray bottle of something, the fluid gets dispersed more widely vs. a water pistol where it gets shout out like a beam??? The back washer seems to just give me a small beam of fluid which just rolls down my hatch window rather than being sprayed all across it. Is that normal and I just only happened to notice that now or is there actually something wrong with my rear nozzle????

Try a junkyard, 5 bucks and you got yourself 2 replacement nozzles? Just a pain in the $%!%@# to get them out, so go early in the morning so you can be home in time to sleep

Umm, I think you misunderstood my original post.

His washer nozzle was plugged with wax, so I told him to just use the sewing needle to poke the existing wax covered hole open.
He is not supposed to create a new hole on the side.

the nozzle is able to rotate for a reason, so you can adjust the direction trhat it hits on the windshield. you can sometimes direct it above the windshield and off to the side of the car, and "might" be able to aim it at walkerby's....
