Old Wax
How do you get old wax out of small cracks in the graphics n stuff on the car? It really detracts from the look of my car. I tried toothpicks but that doesn't get it all, i tried a small screwdriver wrapped in a towel but that doesn't get in the really small spots either. Thanks for your help.

oh boy.....i can feel the tears starting
i can't believe you would use a screwdriver wrapped in anything on your paint...
anyhow the main thing is to get it really wet so something like a brush will work. you'll want a very soft brush though. i have a extremely fine brush you would use for picture painting but it may not be everyones cup of tea.
if you soak it good a soft brush will remove it easily and quickly. if not your going to need a stiff brush and hope you don't take your paint off with you.
whom ever gave you the idea to wrap a screwdriver with a towel should be slapped.
