I always get wax stuck around the edges of the stripes and it seems like an eternity to finally get it all.Is there some trick or tip to make this easier?

 

Quit using wax.

I spent 3 hours one day scraping that crap outta the edges of my vinyl. Another reason I switched to Zaino.

 

When Zaining my brothers 10th Ann. Firehawk, which has stripes, I avoid the edges. Zaino doesn't leave any white residue, which is a benefit of using it.

How about using a que-tip to remove the wax from the edges?

 

I never thought of a q tip, I usually use a soft brissle toothbrush

 

Q-tip didn't work for me, and a brush would scratch. I used my findernail and a towel. Took FOREVER!

 

Griot's garage makes a spray called Paint Prep. It dissolves wax. It is supposed to be used to clean paint before applying new wax or doing body work. I spray it on a fine detail brush (like a tooth brush) and use it to scrub around letters and such. It might work for the edges of your stripes but it will remove wax in that area.

 

Good idea for cleaning inside my chrome badges...
