Thank you to Chuck Schmidt and David Toppin for their suggestions, however I am seeking a less toxic method, so my question restated is:

Are there any suggestions using NON TOXIC substances to remove dirty wax build up from crevices and threads once polishing is completed using a buffing wheel?

Thanks!

Toxic, so be careful, but lacquer thinner or Bestine rubber cement thinner works great for cleaning off buffing compounds from the nooks and crannies.
