What do you guys recommend to use to get wax out of small crevices besides q-tips. I bought q-tips but they are to big to fit in between the small places. Thanks.

Used to be a PITA for me to get it out of the crevices near the hood on my SC but I use a tad bit of quick detailer with this small boars hair brush i got at the Flea market. Did the job for me

Try wooden toothpicks, they work great and will not scratch. You can use the round ones or the flat ones, delending on where you are trying to get out old wax. I have been using them for years with great results!

I use a pink eraser and an eraser pencil. I cut the eraser with a razor blade to a sharp angle and just swipe it through the crack. Very easy and effective.

I just remembered that you can by a 4 in 1 detailing brush at Target. I went to big lots and they had a 2in1 brush by Mr. Clean that looked pretty nice for your application

Toothpicks work great. The eraser meathod sounds like it would work well too.

use an old toothbrush

A toothbrush will scratch the paint, too coarse.

And toothpicks and pink erasers won't?

Pink erasers don't scratch, at least not in the manner toothpicks and toothbrushes will. I've been using this method for about 10 years with never a scratch. Try it before you slam it. I've used both toothpicks and toothbrushes and they easily scratch.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I do like the eraser idea and will head to the store to pick some up, Also the round wooden tooth pick sounds good to. The wax is built up in deep areas where I dont think I have to worry about scratching.

Great forum.

no it wont

Sure did for me and I was being gentle. Maybe you won't see it on a lighter colored car but on black it scratched like mad.
