How do you guys get out water spots, wax leftovers, and other crap from within small crevices? There are quite a few on my Mercdes and it`s frustrating to see little white specs on my black car.

Q-tips, toothpics or I have a set of jewelry tools that I can cover with a thick cloth to remove things from small places.

Was browsing a favorite detailing product site and came across the product below--these seem like they would be a great addition to my collection...





Detailing Wedges





unique sponge with a triangular wedge on the end! Great tool for detailing creases, openings, cracks, and hard to reach places on your car.





These can be found at www.carcrazy.net. I have no affliation with this company--it just happens that it is in my area and has great high-end products and the guys who own it are good fellows.

You would be amazed at what you can find in a dollar store. They have make-up applicator kits that come with foam wedges of all sizes and shapes as well as large cotton swabs which work great for cracks and the like.

What kind of cleaning agents do you guys use? Seems like water spots and wax leftovers are the most stubborn to get out.

Oggle- Often a sharpened toothpick or wooden stick from a detailing swab (used carefully) can remove wax/polish deposits all by itself. I just whittle it to the shape you need. Otherwise, I use Final Inspection.



The sharpened stick can also be used with a bit of cotton ball (or a pulled apart Q-tip`s cotton) to get down into crevices with a product. But watch that you don`t get it stuck down in there.
