Default Extreme OCD.

So. I'm extremely OCD about my car... and I have polishes.... and waxes..... and sealants.... in pretty much every crack on my car. Not the entire crack, but just portions... I was wondering if there was anything I could use on my car, to completely remove it, without alot of scrubbing and such.

It's gotten to the point where I'm considering disassembling parts of the body to get to them. I plan on doing another sealant and such after wards (I got new products that don't stain), but I'm looking for ways to remove the old.

I've considered (They are really harsh... I know this) Using diesel fuel or Kerosene to remove it. But looking for other recommendations.

Also, I plan on using touch up paint on my front fenders, on the edge where they meet the door, because the body shop I had my car repaired at (When I wrecked the front end), did a horrible job of cleaning this area up, and there are paint chips on the edges of the fenders, and the doors.

You guys are amazing. Thanks for any tips/advice you can provide.

You could not be OCD cause you got the stuff in the cracks in the first place - trust me I know
That said Q-Tips, toothbrush, toothpicks and Credit Card with MF all sound fine
