    Cleaning around badges and emblems...

    The subject is a closeup of the MKX emblem of a client's vehicle. What is the best tool and product combo to remove this? I have not had success with normal exterior shampoo solutions.

    Thank you in advance!!

    If you scrunch up a white foam pad that has a black backing, it looks like a sushi roll.

    I guess I should ask the best way to remove the contamination surrounding the emblem. I'm sure I can think of MANY ways to get the emblem itself off!

    A paint cleaner or polish used with a microfiber towel by hand should clean that up without a problem.

    All of these recommendations are applicable to this general contamination around emblems or are they case specific?
