Any tips on cleaning small areas? (door hinges, trunk side areas, etc)

Hi!

It's been a while I haven't washed my car, and dirt has gathered in some small areas like door hinges and the 'side alleys' of the trunk (where water is flowed during rain).

My fingers aren't small enough to reach those areas to clean them thoroughly.

Any tips/products to get them clean? cleaning sprays, etc?


(I've searched... got nothing.. )

Thanks!!

q-tips. Oversized ones do wonders for hard to reach areas.

Make sure if you do clean hinges and latches that you spray them with wd40. It is required that they be lubed up or else you will have trouble with the full latching of doors / hood / etc.
