How to get Compound out of Panel Lines??
What are some tricks you guys use to get it out of the panel lines on your cars? I Just wash the whole body but maybe someone has an easier idea???

For those who use a toothpick, when i tried this the paint in the panel lines came off, and some compound gets left behind on the body is this what happens to you guys as well?

If the toothpick doesn't work, I usually use a soft toothbrush (used toothbrush...) with soap water to get to the difficult parts. I never chip the paint when I use toothpick.

Moisten the toothpick to soften the tip, and also wet the panel line with water.
