I always wash apples in very hot water before eating them.
This is to wash off as much of the chemical cocktail that
has been sprayed on them as possible. Sometimes I find
apples can be really sticky and hot water on it's own does
not clean them, in those circumstances I add a few drops of
washing up liquid and then follow this with thorough
rinsing. Does any one have any thoughts on the subject?

That waxy stuff on apples is most likely shellac.
