Question for the Detailing Experts
How do you buff, wax, polish your car without getting the wax/paste stuck in all the gaps? Or do you just spend the time to clean it off?

The best way is avoid about 1" away from all cracks or gaps.When you remove the polish/wax it will spread to compensate the 1" space.

+1 on Paulie's or use Pinnacle Wax
I use it and it is well worth the $75 it costs! Spreads easily and removes very easy without residue! Try it! Looks great with black too!

painters tape over the crevices and moldings work really well, but somewhat time consuming

This is also what I do. Also don't load up the applicator with to much wax.
