how do i remove deep seated dirt from the finish?

[slowpoke]

hi.

just bought a stock c220 left out in the sun and collecting dust... i just finished waxing it but there are some blemishes that i just couldn't remove.

for example, there's a lot of dirt in between the c220 badge in the back of the car, around the hood ornament... basically all the crevices... how do i get the dirt out? should i use rubbing compound?

thanks for the help

cotton swabs and clay bar should help you out.

I agree. Clay bars do a very good job in eliminating those
deep seated grimes on a paint finish. I first tried it on my
85 Toyota pickup truck and I must say that it worked excellently.

I would use a Mothers Clay bar. Gets good results and you can buy it from pep boys for like 20 bucks.
