Reverting a dual-boot Macbook to only OS X

So I followed the wiki on dual-booting Arch on an Macbook Pro.  I followed the BIOS-compatability  instructions (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … tibility_2) to do so.  As such, when my Macbook boots, it's presented with GRUB.  I need to hold down the 'alt' key while booting to bring up OS X's bootloader.

I'd like to remove Arch from this Macbook and return to OS X's bootloader (and OS X by default).  I could've sworn there were instructions for doing this in the related pages in the wiki, however I'm having trouble finding them.  Can anyone point me in the right direction or just give me the proper steps to remove GRUB and return to OS X's bootloader by default?

I cannot really help here, but, are you wiping the mac entirely?  If so, I believe you can do this

It will download and install the OS from Apple's servers

Interesting, thanks ewaller.  I did not plan on wiping the mac, but this will come in handy if I end up goingi that route.  In fact, doing so will correct a few things for me as well, so unless I come up with a solution within a few days I'll probably do it, lol.  Thanks agian.
