There is a lot of dried wax in cracks and other very small areas [like in the DOT number on the tail lights]. How do I go about removing that wax? I have one of those detailing brushes with the rubber tip, but that doesn't really work all that well in the small letters. Is there a brush I could use that would remove the wax but not scratch the plastic lense?

It's like the last person that detailed the car [from the previous owner] forgot to "detail" the car.

Any suggestions?

Agreed. Toothpick works great.

Rub some peanut oil/butter onto those areas that have white residue from waxing. Takes it right off, no bull.

Detailing brush with some quick detailing spray. For the bigger "nooks and crannies", I use a popsicle stick wrapped in a microfiber towel (this works well for those spots between body panels).

I've actually found that the disposable mascara brushes and eyeliner applicators work the best, I saw them in the store while I was with the lady one day and grabbed a few and ive found them to work very well.

Maybe try a quitip. I havent ever tried that, but Id say that and some quick detailer would work great.
