waxed my wheels using poorboy's wheel sealant...help

Just finished washing my car and for the first time, used some poorboy's wheel sealant on my new wheels. Since the wheels are 2 piece (work t1s), when it was time to wipe down the wax, the wax got inside the crevices between the face of the wheels and barrels...its a pita too try and wipe it off and there is wax stuck inside. What are the methods you guys use to take the excess wax from those crevices? Since the wax is pink, damn, that stuff is very noticeable. any help is appreciated.

try using a detailer soft brush.. the kinds that you usually use for the interior. that's what I used. make sure the bristles are soft and won't scratch

Either a brush, or take something that is thin and rubber or wooden and wrap a microfiber towel around the end. This will help as well.

I would do it soon, the longer you let the wax sit, the harder its going to be to remove later.
