I have a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport with the stage 2 spoiler. I get a lot of small leaves, tiny flower petals and other debris dropped on my car and they always seem to end up getting stuck in the gap between the spoiler/trunk and spoiler/wicker bills. Do you know of any good ways to clean these areas out without disassembling the spoiler or damaging the paint? Thanks in advance!

Air pressure if you have it water pressure from a normal water hose with sprayer nozzle.

I don't have a garage so my car gets tons of that stuff. I wash the car with a pressure washer & foam cannon, and that stuff (and 90% of the dirt) come off when I wet the car the car before applying soap.

I use an electric pressure washer which doesn't generate enough pressure to damage the paint, if you use a 3000+ psi gas washer YMMV.

Small paint brush, something like this:

Low psi (1600-1800 psi) electric pressure washer used on the rinse down prior to wash.

I have tiny rocks that fly off the tires lodged in mine!!

Yeah, wait until you get small stones lodged under there... I find that a credit card like plastic is thin enough to carefully dislodge debris... w/soap.

I use a little craftsman metal pick being very careful to not damage the paint

Thanks for the tips guys. I don't have a pressure washer but maybe it's time to invest in one. I haven't had any pebbles lodged in there yet but I've had many of them sting me in the face and dropped on my passenger seat because I almost always drive with the windows down.

Possibly use a leaf blower? Specialty nozzles for an air compressor are a little harder to come by.

Good luck I have the same car I own a compressor and an electric power washer I have use both and it works for most things but then I go and get little strands from my California duster and all bets are off! I'm still struggling to get them out, I'm thinking I need a tweezers. I use the duster all the time sometimes 2-3 times a day. This time of year there is a lot of pollen in the air!
BTW the leaf blower is good for getting water out but this is about all.

Spray it from behind.

If a compressed air nozzle does not blow them out (like small rocks), I try using a business card to pop them out.
Card is stiff enough to apply some force, while still thin enough to get into crevice.

As mentioned, for underneath main spoiler, blow air from rear forward.
