How to clean marelon?

[Chipmunk88]

Hello everyone, I have some Forespar marelon through-hulls and seacocks that I would like to clean before installing. They are coating in wax currently. Will acetone or Totalboat dewaxer harm the material?

I wouldn't use acetone. Totalboat dewaxer - I don't know what it's active ingredients are so can't comment on that.

Dawn dish detergent will remove some waxes. Are these new? If so contact Forespar and ask them before using any solvents.

Yes they are new. I contacted Forespar but haven't heard back yet.
