Getting wax out of small places

What do you guys use to get wax out of really small spots that you just can't get too. I get alot of wax between my side skirts and where they meet the door, around the areas of my spoiler that I just can't get to, not even with a razor knife. What do you guys suggest to get the wax from these areas?

q-tips on a dry surface usually work pretty well for me.

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but apply less wax around those area's so that doesn't happen. Q-tips are good, but if a razor won't get in there, then neither will one of those. your best bet is to loosen the skirts and wing just enough so some pressure will give you a gap. Clean it out, and avoid those area's in the future

Take about a 2'' wide paintbrush and cut the bristles down real short, so they are rigid and use that to get in your nooks and crannies.If you get it on black plastic Turtle wax ICE polish cleans it right up.

I know, but I mean like the sides of the wing. There is a large area where an insert goes. Gets into places like that and when wiped off, kinda gets stuck there and drys even more.

Obviously being more careful helps, but for when its already done, eh oh well.

Yeah I avoid the plastic at all costs. Did that once heh. Thanks!

Q-tips or a tooth brush like already stated. But it's easier just to not put wax where you cant get it out.
