Getting polish out between the panels?
 
Haven't got round to cleaning my Scoob since picking it up (just ordered new cleaning stuff from Polished Bliss :D )
It was valetted by the dealer just before collection (prolly using AutoGlym) and as a result I now have polish residue between most of the panels.
Is there a easy, and more importantly safe, way of extracting the polish?
The wife suggested an old toothbrush :rolleyes: ;)

I wouldn't use a tooth brush near the body panels as it may scratch your pride and joy. I would use a simple cloth folded up so it fills the panel gap and simpley wipe backwards and forwards until the polish has gone. Other than that it will wear away as you wash it.

you can buy a tiny brush set for jobs like that or just use a soft paint brush - just dont wrap a knife in a cloth and use that. I am sure PB has some method

Use cotton buds, the ones you stick in your ears.

This is what I do in conjunction with a quick detailing spray - spray the towel first, push it into the gap and rub gently. :)

Erm, I was actually thinking of a plastic knife wrapped in a cloth...
Worst place is round the door handles.
I haven't done anything about cleaning it yet, hopefully next weekend it'll be a dry and I can get to grips with my new wash mitts etc :D
