Getting wax etc. out of stone chips

I searched a bit here and couldn't find anything specific.

I'm about to touch up a few chips on my Lightning Blue Roadster before I get a partial clear bra installed. Apart from the usual washing with dish soap to get the wax off the paint, is there anything I need to do to the chips specifically to make sure I get any wax or other contaminants out?

Second question: any good recommendations for clear bra installation in SE Mass/metro Boston/RI?

Try this, it's a little dated but:

Maybe OctaneGuy will have a newer/better approach, and anyway...I wanted to subscribe to this thread!
