Easier way to clean lube from swaged bullets?

I’m looking for an easier way to clean Imperial sizing wax from swaged paper-patch bullets. I’ve been thinking of running them through my ultrasonic cleaner with Simple Green/water mix, then rinsing/drying, although I’m a little reluctant in doing that for fear that the vibration might nick/dent the fine edge of the bullets base. Any advice would be appreciated.
Is there any other sizing lube that might be better than Imperial, and easier/quicker to remove?

Roll on a pad of paper towels moisten with rubbing alcohol.

That’s what I do.

The KISS method to me - keep it simple, stupid. Duh.

Thanks Kenny,
