martinfan5 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know this may seem like a dumb question, but always have a hard time getting the ploish out of the door lines, and panel lines, I have tired using a qtip, and that works sometimes, used the back of a #11 blade, again works sometimes. I need to remove the some dired ploish from my mustand build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Jonathan, Try using a pointed, wooden toothpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks Danno, I will try it and see if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 What Danno said- sometimes moistening it helps, too. If you're worried about damaging the paint, stretching a piece of microfiber towel over the tip will mimimize the chance of scratching the paint.

Mike Kucaba Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 A very soft(makeup?) brush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Zimmerman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Check out the variety of paintbrushes offered at your local craft or art supply store. Look for one with short, stiff bristles, this is what I use....'Z' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Appetite Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I usually run it under warm water and lightly scrub with a soft bristled toothbrush or a fine micro brush if i have any clean ones. Best thing is to get it out right away, dont set it down and plan to do it later. After your done the section, run your toothpick or micro brush along the panel line.

Greg Wann Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 A soft bristle toothbrush or get some of those miniature Q- tips. Try the makeup aisle at the local pharmacy. Tamiya makes some and they are proud of them. I use them for polishing and removing stray clay before making a mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS all carry pointy one end rounded the other end. They're used for makeup application but are terrific for getting out polish, burnishing BMF, qiuckly wiping up paint that goes over the body when painting the interior roof, and lots of other things.

jaymcminn Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'll bite the tip of a round toothpick to flatten it out and separate the fibers of the wood into a sort of "brush". It gets down into the panel lines and really lifts the polish/wax out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets down into the panel lines and really lifts the polish/wax out. I was just about to suggest this method, but I see someone beat me to it.......Try it it works.
