[emsampson]

I have used the #105 ultracut and now i am having trouble getting it out of cracks and crevices on my '40 Ford. they were pointed out by the judges at the Good-Guys show last week. Help!

Use a spray detailer like M34, QD, or even UQD to wet it 1st. Then use a towel and/or a super soft brush to delicately remove any residue. They make detailing "sticks" that you can wrap your towel around which also work great !

Another option is Q-tips...It all depends on how big the "crevice / crack" is...

We have also had people use an air compressor along with the above mentioned tools...(just be careful around any paint that might have a slight crack in it)...

Once it is gone, use UQW to reapply any protection that might have been removed. Keep in mind UQW will not dry white, so you are good to go moving forward !

Hope this helps !

On tight cracks a carefully controlled toothpick also works.

A squirt of detail spray and foam detail sticks does the job for me.

Walmart has foam sticks for CHEAP. They have a package in the arts and crafts aisle that has about 9 sticks (three sizes of foam heads) and it works GREAT for cleaning leftover polish in the cracks.

If its dried use rubbing alcohol on a qtip or micro cloth

I just found these last week and have used them to apply interior protectant in tight spaces, they work great!
