How Do I Smooth Buttercream After It's Been Refrigerated?

I have tried using the "Viva" towel method, hot tools, and was wondering if anyone else has any tips/tricks to get the sides of a cake smooth. Mine looks like a spackled wall right now :(
AI might be wrong but I believe once a buttercream has crusted there isn't much that you can do to smooth it out except treat that as a crumb coat and make more buttercream and ice over the cake than let it sit on the counter until lightly crusted than use a viva paper towel to smooth it out.
dip a spatula in hot water.. make sure to shake off the excess water.. then go over the buttercream. That usually works for me.
I actually dip my whole scraper in boiling water/wipe and go over the cake that way. I use the spatula sometimes but I seem to leave new marks where the edges of the spatula were. When I use the scraper I seem to get a more consistent texture.
