Or, instead of spending $80 on a tooth brush, take the slide off and go for a drive down to the local car wash... $2 and a cup of gas (or a good run) is all it takes.

Sure...if you want to do it the quicker, cheaper, and faster method. That would work. :nod:

Hot tap water should be around the 60c mark, I think there's a product out there that will "wick" the wax out of the trades. Look up wax removal for carpets.

easy (if you have the mastercraft maximum rotary dremmel bit system ,or similar) put a peice of paper towel around the copper abrasive bit . should work (im not liable if it dont)

Before dremeling you gun... you should try this:

There is a chemical called "Brake cleaner". It is sold in crapy tire and other car places..

I use this to clean all kind of markings on my radio controled cars.

This thing is really powerfull though, you should try it in some hidden spot before spraying it all round. It is sold in spray cans and cost about 15$... not a big pain if it works, an if it don't well this is not wasted cuz it cleans almost anything from almost anything...

Wait till your mom goes to sleep, then try Mad Max's suggestion.
