    eBay: plastic razor blades. They are dirt cheap for a huge pack of 'em.

    I'll do this first as I have this on hand, and then move on to the other suggestions if I'm still having tight spots I can't reach.

    Thanks everyone!

    I just used Meguiars body solvent and then scrubbed with a toothbrush. I wiped it up with a terry cloth towel and the results were spectacular!

    Simple green is very effective at breaking it up.

    I found some plastic razor blades from various suppliers on Amazon.

    I use wooden shish kabob sticks that you buy at the grocery store. Much stronger than tooth picks, easy to control and you can sharpen/shape the end to suit your needs.

    Use a soft bristle tooth brush. That will fix any build up. Make sure to use a spray wax and then use the tooth brush for built up wax. The spray wax will help lubricate the brush.

    Re: How to get dried wax out of cracks?

    I bought a megs detailing brush made just for this in an auto store. It's brown and has three different kinds of stiff bristles on it. It's VERY effective. No matter where the wax has been stuck one of the bristles has gotten it out easily. Especially those little stubby ones.
