I use a cotton bud to remove weathering.

I don't.

 

In this case the area to be cleaned is very small and I wanted to be quite specific about what was removed and what was left. My weapon of choice was, therefore, a small brush.

I suppose that one could use one of those very small, pointed cotton buds, Mick? (like wot I discovered when our mutual friend Andrew gave me some last year!).

 

I agree with the use of brushes, though, different tools for different effects.

These will be the ones you mean, my Captain:

I use these a lot when working on small details, and when polishing factory finishes in selected areas. Tools for jobs, as they say.
