Mineral spirits will cut alox with out damaging ammo boxes. I haven't tried Dawn, but when I wash any alox off my hands I use a dishwashing soap. BTW; when you start using alox, or xlox, cut it about 25% to 30% with mineral spirits. It'll go on easier and will dry quicker. Most new alox users will use too much alox on their bullets ("that couldn't be enough, I'll just add a bit more"), and get a sticky goo on their bullets.
