Question wax in washer fulid nozzles

when i did that fabulous wax job on my car it seems that i got some wax in the washer fulid nozzles so now my washer fluid doesnt come out entirely correctly.

You can remove them and just run it through some warm water.

no i wouldnt advise using a toothpick. Something like the end of a pencil eraser would work quite nicely and or a boars hair brush

Wow...removing them seems like overkill to me for a bit of wax buildup. I'd use some vinegar/water solution (half 'n' half) on a piece of paper towel to wipe your washer nozzle squirty things. The vinegar will desolve the wax so don't get any on the hood of you car or you'll have to rewax it...and then you'll prolly end up clogging your washer nozzle squirty things again...
