Brush to clean trim and badges on paint
Hi guys
What kind of brush can I use when cleaning trim and badges that are on the paint surface?
I don’t want to use something that could potentially scratch or mark the paint.
Thanks!

I prefer to heavily hose down the area or pressure wash prior touching any painted surface to avoid scratches.
Any soft detail brush that autogeek carries will do the job

I use a soft 1 inch round paintbrush. If you soak the surface with soap, and you don't apply much pressure, there is no reason you would damage the paint. You could also use steam, that would not damage anything either.

This is good advice however some brushes that are marketed as soft will scratch. This brush taught me the hard way Mothers Detail Brush Set cleans crevices and creases inside your car. Mother Detail Brush Set includes 2 small brushes.

Any brush can cause swirl marks. Use plenty of lube and a light touch. I prefer a plastic tool with a microfiber wrapped around the tip.

I use a Pastry Brush I picked up at Bed, Bath and Beyond for about $3--has very soft Boar Bristles and works great at cleaning tight areas without leaving behind scratches.
