Default Getting rid of residue from wax

Is there an easier way to remove the excess wax from all of the spaces on the car?

Right now I use a microfiber cloth, toothbrush, cotton swabs, and toothpics. It takes forever, and usually does not get all of the white residue out.

The badge on the side of the car is also a pain, and the sidemarker is impossible, especially where they put the lettering on it, and I still have not gotten the washer nozzels to work again either (I've regretted that a few times)

I'm starting to think the car looked better before the wax. (although that was also before my dad hit a curb with it :doh: )

btw. this is off topic, but is there an easier way to judge the front of the car, the front is always closer than I think it is. (I haven't even tried parallel parking it yet)

Get Q tips and rubbing alcohol and have at it. Be sure to spray the car off quickly afterwards though. I highly reccomend you go to your local Harley dealer and ask for S100 or order Some P21S. It's pure Carnuba wax and leaves no residue, plus it has a lot more shine and protection.

Cleaner wax removes the previous layer of wax. With high quality wax you add layer upon layer without removing do give a more "deep" or "wet" shine.
