something I happened to try on my last detail that worked really well: take an old drivers license (or credit card if it doesn't have raised letters/numbers) and wrap a really thin MF around it. I have some really thin ones that must be 200 gsm or so. Then just run down the crevice with the card on the long side...this way it will bend around curvy crevices.

You'll pick up a lot of dirt/road grime too, so you might want to pre-treat the skid marks with APC (I used D101 at 1:4 in a regular spray bottle) for about 5 minutes before you throw in the wash.

Obviously some crevices are too tight for even a thin credit card and thin MF, so use good judgement. :props:

P.S. I'm not claiming to invent this process and sure someone has mentioned it before here...
