Detailing around emblems ect

Hello All, If I can ever get some time off from 2 jobs I will be trying out my new PC and Mens. kit. My question is this I know that you put blue tape on areas that you dont want wax cleaner residue on but what do you do around those chrome emblems such as F150 Ford ect. I just dont want to put all that work into making the paint look great and the areas that I cannot get with my polisher to be dull.

I also dont want to leave anything around the emblems, chrome ect.

Thanks
Mike

Well i always use painters tape, but i suppose you could hand polish in between the letters.

i use an AIO with a Q-tip and a MF towel to clean up between the emblems then i use the painters ..when polishing stay away from the emblems so you don't accidentaly hit the emblem with your PC....

When I polish around them I tape them off. If I'm just applying a wax for a sealant I won't tape them. I use a soft bressel tooth brush and some QD to clean around them afterwards.
