What do you all use to remove left over polish that has gotten into cracks and crevices? Anyone use brushes that wont scratch the paint, but loosen the dried polish up?

I use a MF cloth with some alcohol. It takes it right off. I think if you take it off right away you do not even need the alcohol.

I have a small boars hair detailing brush (almost like a large paint brush) and an IPA and it works well.

eagle one quick detailer is good too, depending on the "size" of the job.
a little QD and a MF go a long way

Pink Eraser. Cut to a wedge and swipe it through and off comes the polish. You can easily cut the eraser to fit any crack or crevice.

Those are nice and I have some. My only "complaint" is the stick part of them is a bit flimsy.
Of course, there`s the good old standby--a screwdriver (I keed, I keed):lol

I always snap off the cotton tips with the plastic handled ones, find some paper handled swispers, their shaped the same and have a stronger handle :xyxthumbs
