wax remover
Hey guys,
I need something that may or may not exists so I would like your input.
I need a wax remover that will get rid of wax residue without needing to be wiped, something that would kind of disintegrate residue.
The problem is that I used to clean the car with soap that has little wax additive and now there is some wax residue stock around my tail lights. I removed my tail lights to work on them but the residue are stock where only liquid and air can go there because so tight. Basically between the clear part and the black part if the tail light, mainly on the bottom as water went down and dried there after the car got cleaned. Since it so tight, I need something to get rid of the residue witout needing to be wiped as nothing can reach where the residue is, except liquid and air.
I really don't feel like putting my lights in the oven to open them just to clean wax residue :s
I will get pics as soon as my cam is recharged but anything would help.

Don't grind on your paint while its dry with brushes. Detailer's Domain's brush is your friend for cracks.

While I know you don't need something as serious, its well worth it in my book for getting dust out of cracks in the interior then wetting it down with water+ car wash soap to get compound and whatnot out of cracks and lube the area to at least not be scratching the paint with a dry bristle brush. Its a strong brush that lasts a long time, but shipping is killer on the website.
I would only touch my wheels with a toothbrush.

Ok so here is a picture after the tooth brush effort. I did put it back in to see how it looks but there is still some residue :s
also, while working on the light I noticed something:
Some residue also got into the light!
Has anyone every tried to remove the lights, bulb, electronic components and immerse the whole tail light in a container full of soap and water, than shake it a lot?!
