Getting polish out of tiny crevices

**spagett** · 03-15-2016, 02:43 PM

I painted my wheel center caps a couple weeks ago, and today gave them a quick wet sand and hit them with some M105. Even after cleaning with CarPro Eraser, a good amount of polish remains in the tiny space between the face of the cap and the outer ring. It's actually quite the eye sore despite what the photo may fail to convey.

I've tried letting some Eraser dwell in there for a minute or two and tried scraping it out with tiny objects without much success.

So my question is, is there anything I can pour in there to dissolve the polish to the point of just washing out, or close to it, without harming the paint? The top coat is Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel and like I said it's about two weeks into curing. I won't be putting the wheels on for 2-3 more weeks so I can let it cure even further.

Mineral Sprits and a tooth brush, but do a test spot.

Lot of work but tape off both sides so as to not mar the paint.Works better on straight areas.

I'm going to give it a go with a tooth brush tomorrow. First with some QD, if that fails then some MS.

Big thank you to everyone here for the tips and tricks.
