Cleaning in and around fender badges...

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.

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

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.

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.

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