Detailing question
I have a black 1998 Expy with chips on the hood and the tail gate. These chips are filled with built up wax and it stands out like a sore thumb. The wax is settled in and I cant seem to get rid of the white residue buildup in the chips. Any suggestions?

toothbrush is the way to go. You may want to get the one with the rubberized dental pick, becuase they are often a good help in tight situation.
Just remember to keep this one out in the garage and lable it, or you may be getting yelled at for leaving your brush in the garage.

If I use a tooth brush to take the wax out, then I wont have the protection??? I do have a wax that has a black dye in it, I'm wondering if I should just use that? I'm very picky about wax products, But I'm wondering what I should do about these chips....

Fix the chips with touch-up paint available from your local ford stealership. Carefully mask around the affected area and dab a couple coats of touch-up in the chip. The key is to get the touch-up level as high as the existing paint. Let it dry a couple days, polish and wax.

try some of the color matching wax--get a color close to the vehicle color and it may blend better than the typical wax that tends to dry white in cracks or chips. I have found it reduces but not necessairily eliminates the problem.
