How do y'all remove the sizing wax from the brass?

After sizing, I put a handful of riffle brass onto a paper towel, fold over and roll to get the majority of it off.  
Do this for four or five times, then use the other side.
Maybe singularly wipe them with another towel before I measure them with a case gauge,
then if all is sized correctly, wash with Simple Green and let dry.
I'd rather not tumble after because it removes the annealing coloration

I just finished sizing 500 308 and am looking for a more efficient way to do this.  Thanks
(Efficiency is an intelligent laziness )

It doesn't sound like it will be any help for you but I tumble in corn cob for bulk stuff.  If I am just spot checking pieces to make sure sizing is still good I wipe it off with a rag.

Why do you want to keep the coloration from annealing?

My fetish

I have walnut stuff, but haven't used it since I started wet tumbling

Corn cob is less abrasive than walnut.  I don't anneal so I can't say for certain but it might leave the annealing coloration.  You don't need to run the brass for very long to remove the lube/wax.

Mineral spirits and an old t -shirt

Try rubbing alcohol and an old T shirt.

use Dillon spray lube or equivalent and dry tumble the loaded rounds, what I do after sizing

I wipe mine off with a rag after it comes out of the die, trim if necessary and then put it in a sonic cleaner with Hornady One Shot and a little bit of dawn dish soap.

Cleans off all the lube, especially inside the neck.

Before I even resize I decap my brass and soak it in hot water and dawn dish soap for a few hours.

I put the brass in a gallon jug ( old windshield wash fluid jug) and dump in mineral spirits, cap it, then swish around.
Dump mineral spirits back into can for reuse.
Dump brass out on aluminum roasting pan.
I use that type pan because they are cheap. Use whatever you want or can acquire.
Roll brass around to get excess liquid off.
Dump brass into second jug and fill with alcohol, swish around, drain alcohol back into its can for reuse.
Dump brass into pan and set in sun or in front of fan or hit with hair dryer for a few minutes - it will dry off pretty quick.
Brass ready to load - no more lube on them.
I use Imperial size wax.
The alcohol bath is because the mineral spirits can take awhile to dry off inside the case and I want it gone.
You can get many washings out of the mineral spirits and alcohol- so keep reusing them.

The cases feel dry and clean when done = no lube left behind.

I use old cotton tee-shirts to get Imperial Sizing wax off.

Thanks all for the great tips.

I dry tumble in tiny 20/40 grit corn cob media

you can get it from grainger or https://www.zoro.com/zoro-select-blast-media-corn-cob-20-to-40-grit-crn3-40/i/G2165387/

it's too tiny to get stuck in the primer holes

5.56 brass

After I size, I wipe them off with a clean rag once they come out of the die. I then have a mason jar of acetone I drop the cases into after I have sized them all. I gently roll them around in the jar, then dump out the acetone into another jar, then dump the brass onto a clean rag. The acetone dries off really fast, cleans off the sizing lube, and leaves no residue.

this or alcohol
