Q-tip should work.

another way would be to soak it with a warm soapy water solution...like dawn. Do this at the car wash and let it sit for a few minutes..then use the high pressure soap wand to blow it out. Obviously dont get too awful close but you should get the idea. Should blow it right out.

Spray a q-tip with water or detail spray.

no no no , wash your car and get yourself a nice soft bristle paint safe brush from autogeek and when your washing your car like poke at the cracks with soap and water on the brush and it will all come out .

All Purpose Cleaner on a utility towel or cotton swab works very well.
