Cleaning Crevices

[osiapstndp]

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. I think a credit card and thin microfiber towel will work adequately. I was doing prep work to get the customer's vehicle ready for a two-step refinishing job and removing residual dirt from all of those crevices was bugging me. Thank you again!

Either a paint brush trimmed down, a Q-Tip, or for long thin runs; hotel key cards with thin MF over them.. rotating the working face of the cloth practically continuously..
Usually this is with APC or ONR...

For stubborn shite I have also used Q-tips with P21s paint cleaner (eg in a plastic trim corners)... that's great stuff...

Don't forget craft (popsicle) sticks around a MF towel work great for this too.

But don't they break at the worst times? Seems like they wouldn't be firm enough, I dunno.

I think the wax removal tool that atgonzales provided the link to would work far better than trying the cheapo route.. There's just sometimes when the stupid little things are worth spending the extra $3 on. Lol.

The Mothers Detail Brushes also come in handy for this task, they've got a built in pointed tip specifically for this purpose. Nice added touch to already solid brushes. Good job, Mothers.

You can also file a chop stick down so it looks like a flat head screw driver. Wooden dowels work well too but I like Chinese food so I'm partial to chop sticks.

If you've got any dead Tolco sprayers laying around, it looks like the back of the nozzle has pointed edge that would also work perfect + wouldn't break while using it.

I like to use the wax removal tool as stated above it works great for me after i am done i go back and get in all the cracks. It also works good on the interior. Now if i am washing i use the famous detail brush around everything with good results. I thought they were a bit pricey for a brush i caught them on sale and used it then i ordered 4 more lol. They have their specific jobs like one for wheels and lug nuts one for interior and one for the painted surfaces. There are several options out there and i have used the credit card also before i found autogeek and now i am hooked.

Which "famous detail brush " is he are you referring to?
