I use either a detail brush (an old well softened toothbrush will work) or a folded towel edge. If it's well dried try wetting the towel edge.

I use an old toothbrush and some detail spray. Also a toothpick at really tight and stubborn areas .

Similar to these guys, I generally just use a folded microfiber towel to reach in the seems if I see any. Sometimes a little APC or quick detailer might be necessary.

Camels hair paint brush. They are generally very soft, but will do the job nicely with a little patience. It is what I have used except for the very most stubborn of hardened deposits. 90% of the deposits will come off with the brush without any damage to the finish. Some are a little stiffer than others in the shaft part of the bristles, but the ends are soft. That's what you are looking for. My brush is about 2 inches wide. Good hunting!

There was a recent thread on this you may want to find. And you should consider using a wax or polish that doesn't leave material to clean behind.

I've always used glaze+sealer followed by carnuba wax on my cars, but this time I decided to make a bold change and try Klasse AIO and SG. All in all it was less work and the biggest benefit of all... no white stuff all over and under the plastic and rubber. I doubt I'll go back ever again.
