Wax and Polish Removal

Okay so it was from my first fun run with the PC, it did a decent job on the paint but I ran the PC a little too close to the cracks (ie in the door. Well now I have Polish caked in there. What do you use to get that out. I was also using Meguiars NXT wax and it seemed like after my car got wet I had some wax return...IDK...now it is hard as hell too remove...Not alot but any easy way to remove this junk easier? Oh and I now will be removing the wax with the PC as well so I don't have this problem...

Use a toothbrush to get the cake out.
You should just use a MF to get the product off your car after applying with an appropriate pad.

You can simply fold up or wad up a MF in the creases and run it along to pull out that excess polish/wax, Q-tip if all else fails. Also, I agree, use hand and MF to remove the sealant......

Fold a m/f over an old credit cars and run it up and down the crack ... if your getting polish caked in there your using too much.

Agree, most of the time a little product goes a long way. All product set-up differently, so it may take some time getting use to how the product performs on your car. What about using a wax remover like Duragloss #481 Wax Eraser and a microfiber towel?

The 481 works good on build up thats been there awhile....If its fairly fresh, a MF sould work. Another option are makeup sponges. They come in a wedge shape and are perfect for such issues.
