I'm in the process of cleaning out all the nooks and crannies of splattered buffing compound, and was wondering if there was a liquid solution that would make the job a little easier. Seems like there was a post on this a while back but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Bet you tape off those areas next time.
I just washed the thing, but I wasn't doing my own show car....

I'll try the warm water thing. The painter was as careful as can be expected...just a few spots (the seams where the fenders meet the cowl) that got missed. Thanks for the reply's.

Try some wax and degreaser like PPP DX330. Mike

Rubbing alcohol and water, 50/50 mix. Put some in a spray bottle and clean away.
