You can do those areas by hand. Or as an alternative, this is what I use...

A car wash solution with a polishing recipe that you can practice without difficulty is exactly what you need. Do-it-yourself car wash soap is cheaper, safer, and gives you greater control over substances to meet your specific needs.

Dish washing soap will remove wax, so I only use it when I want to remove wax and other things like tar.

I bought a Black 09' C4S a few years ago. As almost every black car I have witnessed it needed paint correction. I have personally done full corrections over the years to 4-5 cars following some great guides posted on YT. The final step is with a ceramic coating--many DIY ones available. I feel it last longer than traditional wax and makes it FAR easier to clean for the next few years. You just have to prep the car really really well. I spent 40+ hours on this 997 I bought a few years back. Still black cars...they are dirty as soon as you finish washing them I swear! Good luck. +1 on foam cannons btw. I do pressure wash, but use a broad spray tip. Have fun!

but it also has things like moisturizer in it. Id recommend a true decon soap. But does it really matter since youre gonna polish afterward??? I doubt.... 💁🏾💁🏾
