Default tools for crevices

i used a small brush but was wondering if there is a better way...

I've used this device with great success in combination with the detailing socks found at the bottom of the page. I eventually made my own version of the socks out of worn micro fiber towels and the combination works well for any tight areas that are hard to access.

^ I don't have any pictures in use, the rods screw together at various angles in order to get into tight places. The "socks" fit over the plastic heads on the end of the rods and work well.

or try this alternative to the above for cleaning those hard to get at places.

For something like the "S2000" badge on the fenders, for example, I use brushes, Q-Tips, or a small corner of a folded microfiber towel. For panel gaps, I use a towel folded in half and sort of wedged into the gap.

The detailing sticks from Griots are "replacements" for a screwdriver pretty much. You put the type of tip you need on the rod you need (straight or the angled one) once you assembled the combo you need you slide a MF cloth over it and clean
