I would put them in a bucket with some dish soap or some kind of degreaser to get the oil off, but I wouldn’t bother going all the way to the car wash with them

For new traps - I use gas and a brush to remove most of the factory oil, then soak them for a couple days in dawn, before rinsing to finish up.....Flame away at me on the dangers of using gas, Lol.

Would wand it power wash do anything ? Not wash truck weeks, I could end week, I have paint few new traps before, last year was 2- no. 5s, work ok but not best job As long as you power wash with soap. Just water will be hard to take off factory grease/oil

.... as mentioned before... do you have a dishwashing machine and the soap that goes in it ? ... run them through that thing once with soap... then once with straight water... treat them however you want after that
You’re alright ol hand ... it’s just that your head is so hard a wildcat can’t even scratch it lol

What you ought to do is ... take up with an ol lonely gal that lives in town and provide services in exchange for dishwashing machine privileges... then leave her missing you during trappin season. Who knows... it could blossom into something more permanent than coon grease on a fleshing beam
