removing polish residue from cracks

[ninobrn99]

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.

Moist Q tips? I've used them in the past depending on the location and size of the gap

 

[ninobrn99]

yeah, someone mentioned that to me too. looking at these

A soft tooth brush.

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.

I've used those exact qtips for emblems, etc. But I got them at Walgreen's.

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

+1 for David's idea. I use the pressure washer after every polish, to get all residue off and out of cracks.

haha, that is awsome! Thanks David. Maybe then I can get a foam canon too :getdown

A toothbrush is cheaper.
