Default Removing wax buildup

Cleaning my "new" '80 911 SC tonight. What's a good way to get rid of the white wax buildup that forms in the hard to reach nooks and crannies on the bodywork?

Thanks,

Nix

ill second that one! or you can use one of those sponge paint brushes.. get one of the small ones, and use a soft cloth wraped around it(so as not to scratch the paint)

Squirt a little citrus degreaser on the toothbrush first. I've also found toothpicks and q-tips to be very effective.

Rather than any citrus degreaser, use Meguiars Rubber Care. It's good for the rubber. Or use any other top name brand.

Use it before you wax next time and you won't have any worries.

Be sure to rewax any paint that got rubber care on it and ESP. if you use a degreaser - they are harsh.
