How do you clean in the tightest areas?

Im a freak when it comes to cleaning every little spec off my car and esp my wheels and I wanted to ask you guys, what tools or ideas do you have for cleaning say..

Between letters or emblems on the trunk

On rims/wheels in areas too tight for a Q-tip



Typically ive been using Meguiars detailer and microfibers only, I take my time and go very slow to not damage anything but sometimes the job just doesnt get done the way i want it. Any suggestions???

Should it not be HALCION (a benzodiazepine to calm you down)-- To obsess about your G at this level is a bit much! Relax and enjoy your car.

Detail tools....create your own.

Halcyon777, some of us have the insight to debadge our trunk lids so we don't
have issues cleaning all those letters/numbers. Even the Mt Fuji emblem is
a PITA to clean around. I use a dowel sharpened on an angle and microfiber
towel to get wax out of all the hard to reach areas on my car. Using things
like an old toothbrush scratches our clear coat and causes more head aces.
