Default C6 Cleaning

How's the best way to clean the front part of the door that fiils the gap between the door and the rear part of the front fender? I've tried to get at it with the door open, but am unable to do so.

With the door closed, you can see the part of the door that needs to be cleaned. I thought of a q-tip.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Dampen the corner of a handtowell, push it in there and drag it down - works just fine.

I fold a thin rag over an old credit card and clean / dry / remove was this way in all door jams and lines between body panels. I also use this method between the window and the weather stripping on the passanger and driver doors after I was the car. I do that so I can put the windows down after I was the car and then I get no streaks on the windows from wet weather stripping.

Wow. I didn't even know that space existed.

I'll have to try the Q-tip thing (God, we're obsessive )
