Have you tried a toothbrush? (Use a soft bristle one)

On a sort of related topic...

I waxed my car - but some of the wax has got caught in various bits of 
body work... its a right pain to get out - only thing I've been able to 
do so far is use more wax on top and this then melts the hard wax and 
then i can use water to get it out...

Can anyone recommend something to remove the wax other than the liquid 
wax itself... I dont like having creamy coloured detailing on my car! 
Yuck...
