Amery,

    Nope, I don't rinse it off. I buff it with the swiffer until there
    is no apparent residue left on the wax. The key, as I understand it,
    is that the WaxKleen or Goo Gone both chemically "melt" the surface
    of the wax just a tiny bit, which allows the polishing action of the
    swiffer to effectively remove irregularities in the surface. 

    When I have to transport or mail waxes, I don't ever use baggies. I
    use either Altoids cans or the similar little tins that some of the
    casting companies provide. They provide enough protection for the wax
    without any buildup of moisture or other "stuff" that could damage
    the surface. If I have one that seems like it might rattle around in
    the tin, I put another small piece of clean swiffer in with it (no
    dust, no scratches, and protection from banging around). 

    Hope this helps! 

Karen
