Almost done detailing ZSPEED and needed to get excess junk out of all the crevises. Carefully used a soft brisseled tooth brush, but that can only do so much, plus the chance of mildly scratching the paint. Sure , sure they make special brushes, but I'm a cheap asss (I have a Z to thank for that :P ). So I sprayed in some speed shine and or eagle one wet look spray and got me a tooth pick and exacto blade and sharpened the toothpick to a point where it was almost possible to pierce skin :P then just ran the tooth pick in the crevies. Went a lot deeper then the brissel of a tooth brush. Plus u have a lot more control of what you scraping, and if u cant scrath the paint! Well maybe you could, but I did this trick in both door handles and missed and hit the paint hard several times, and nothing, and I have a black Z. Go figure.
Awsome trick!
