New to forums, first-time Fit owner!

Herro! Just wanted to drop by and actually register to FF for the first time. I figure the collective resources of gearheads and enthusiast will be beneficial for me in the future in regards to future modding, troubleshooting, etc.

I became the owner of a preowned 2008 Honda Fit Sport 3 days ago, and have been loving that car! While the endeavors of getting to buy this car was a little bit of a hassle and the crappy detailing down by CarMax has left me to occupy myself for a couple of days... It's still a fantastic car.

I'll post a few pics of it once I finish detailing the exterior of the car.

PS: I'm assuming while they were trying to 'detail' my car, they left some buffing compound (i'm assuming it's that) in the cracks of the trim/door handles/various spots and would like to get some advice if a simple buffer will get rid of this? Or will a simple scrubbing with an old soft toothbrush will get rid of these?

They substance is white and brittle but a hassle to remove with even a piece of cloth, but scraping it with my fingernail does take it off.

Should i just directly spray it on the areas needed to be cleaned and use a microfiber/basic cloth to clean it off?

i think they just left some wax. you can take some QuickDetailer spray and a soft microfiber towel and push the towel into the nook to grab hold of the dried wax.
