I usually use a q-tip with some QD on it. But most of the time, if i tape up the emblems, i don't really have to worry about it much and it saves time !! You can also buy detailing brushes that are made to get into those tiny places are removed any polish residue that may have been blown up into the crevices

I've actually got an issue with some wax/polish residue stuck in the cracks of my headlight washers. Gotta figure how to get them in the service position where they stay out. I can work the crevices and lettering ares with the edge of a MF towel and some IPA and it works pretty well.

why owuld u use IPA if you finished polishing? wouldnt that strip off your wax?

well using the IPA after polishing shouldn't affect anything because there wont be any wax on the vehicle at that time anyway. Polishing strips the wax right off. That IPA makes so much of a difference because it helps the wax/sealent bond so much better to your paints surface.
