I've heard ultrasonic cleaners do a great job. I fill a sink with hot soapy water and use an old toothbrush. If I see any with cracks or in bad shape they get tossed and replaced with new.

Quoted from Jimmyhonda:
Hello, what’s the best way to clean colored posts with dirt, wax, and Novus in the grooves? Can I soak them in something to clean them? Thanks all!

Ultrasonic cleaner works great. I use Castrol Super Clean in it, doing it by hand will work. Just need a toothbrush to clean out the grooves.

Ultrasonic or put them in a mesh type bag and throw them in the dishwasher. They will look like new

Soak in hot water/dish soap, scrub with old tooth brush, rinse clean, dry and re-install.

Super easy!
