Cleaning the wax out of the nameplate letters?
I have heard some people say use a toothbrush, but I think a brush may be both too big and too hard.
A q-tip?
What do you use to get the wax out?

My car has wax from probably 20 years ago in certain cracks and crevices. I recently had to replace my left signal indicator and had to remove the taillight. Oh my god, it took some serious elbow grease and I wasn’t even using a soft cloth but an abrasive shop rag and I still couldn’t get it all off. I don’t think the brushes will work in every scenario.
Are there other, more aggressive options?

I did some reading after I asked you and found some interesting info about using an eraser to remove crusty old wax. I need to assess the car and see if I can make that work. I’ve got wax in door jambs and at the base of the hood, all sorts of little gaps...I’ll report back. Thanks bud.
