Dirt around flame edges

[chesterc]

What's the safest way in removing dirt , dried wax and others around the edges of the pin striping?

At certain angles you can see white residue.

use a tooth brush

Yes, a fine bristle toothbrush, or I cut down a fine bristle sable paintbrush (~1"). I use it on the bikes too for those hard to reach places.

I agree with previous about the sable type paint brush. I, too, have cut one down to about 3/4". Make sure to take some electrical tape and wrap the metal banding to avoid a slip and scratch deal. This also works well on the textured plastic bed rails and foot pads on the bumper. When I got my truck, dealer had waxed truck and gotten it onto these parts. A little rubbing with the brush and no more wax. Also, remember, light pressure with the brush, let it do the work.
