    Re: Cleaning around letters/badges...

    The aforementioned water spot remover and I would try these brushes on paint before those Speed master ones



    These are from detail factory but AG no longer Carrie’s them. They do carry Some Speed Master ones that look similar.

    These are super soft and won’t scratch piano black trim. I would use the other ones if these weren’t aggressive enough.

    Thats what I was meaning to say but could word it correctly.

    I just use a microfiber towel... Fold it and use the edge of the fold. I have found that on black, brushes of any kind tend to leave behind micro-marring.
