Run a cloth over (4)
I believe the answer is:
'run a cloth over' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for wipe that I've seen before include "Push cloth over" , "Erase recording" , "Rub lightly to remove dust, etc" , "Clean with e.g. cloth" , "use cloth" .)
