getting wax out of cracks

[Kenny York]

The next few days here are just superb ( 65 degrees as the high and clear skies) so the perfect day to wax a car and detail. ( in the shade of course I was wondering if there is a product out there to get wax out of the hard to reach places ( air scoops, all edges of car etc.) I have used cotten swabs in the past and put a drop of armoral on it and it seemed to work. Is there anything else that might be quicker or better?
Thanks!!

I use a portable jet steamer to remove the wax from crevices.

jet streamer?

Is this just a hose attachment with a high pressure setting?

No, I think that he means something like this:

I've seen detailers use paint brushes, some with short bristles, others with long(depending on the area being worked on). I bought some and they work great and work best when you use body shine or some type of quick detail spray.
Take care,

tooth brush works for me

Same. I use a toothbrush or for very hard to reach spots, I can use a wooden toothpick. Generally though, you should avoid getting wax into areas that you would have trouble removing later.

I use the jet steamer.

Be careful using a toothbrush on your car...... some bristles have been known to scratch the painted surfaces
