    How to get dried wax out of cracks?

    What's the most effective way to get dried wax out of cracks?

    I wasn't knowledgeable at applying wax when I first started and now I have lots of buildup

    A cheap 1" paint brush works great, you can cut it down to 3/8 or 1/2 an inch long. I cut one at an angle also to get in real tight spots.

    i wrap a microfiber towel around a plastic razor blade (ScrapeRite Plastic Razor Blades, Scrape-Rite Razor Blades, Plastic blades). works like a charm!

    Or a old credit card works. Learned that tip from Todd Helme.

    Any idea where I can find these razor blades? They're not available on AG. I found that these work very well on removing decals and old pinstripes as well

    wonder why AG doesnt carry them any more?! I bought a 25 pack from them a while back.

    try a google search and you will see other online stores that sell them. i cant post the links on here
