How do you guys get the CAMARO fender letters clean? I always have dirt and wax build up like inside the A and O and around the edges of the lettering. I took a small screwdriver and wrapped it in microfiber and it got it pretty clean...but there's gotta be a better/safer way.

APC and boars hair brush.

I always stock up on the wooden q-tips at doctor's offices.

Good_Times · 08-09-2012, 10:58 PM

Try a small (1") soft paint brush with the bristles cut short. As a previous poster mentioned a boars hair brush is a great (better) choice but remember to pre-soak to soften it up first. Q-tips will also do in a pinch.

When I had mine detailed, I noticed the guy using Q-tips.

This is what i use as well. All i have to do is run this brush through the letters while washing the car and they are clean. No need to give them more than that.

krusher · 08-10-2012, 08:35 AM

Its easy. Take them off and leave them off like I did. Better lines that way.

CooG · 08-12-2012, 05:17 PM

CamaroCowboy · 08-13-2012, 06:02 PM
