APC for cleaning emblems
Hello guys I am currently on the market for an APC that I can use to clean the emblems on my vehicle that won't remove waxes/sealants. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would look at using a spray bottle filled with a higher concentration of your favorite car shampoo. I think most APC’s will degrade your LSP too much.

Re: APC for cleaning emblems
What kind of vehicle is it and what year? Do the emblems have a chrome finish? Do they have any pits on the finish? Or are you more interested in being able to clean in between the lettering, which unless you have the right approach can be difficult to clean.

I could never really clean emblems until I saw your method of using a detailing brush. Works and its a must have tool for me now.

Re: APC for cleaning emblems
2016 Mustang GT. The emblems do have a chrome finish. I like to make sure to get the 5.0 emblem on the side alone with the GT badge on the back. I also like cleaning the trim along the windows. I use orange degreaser by CG. But I've noticed that it removes the wax around the area along with the run off from the chemical on the vehicle. The emblems are pretty clean since I have been maintaining them while washing the car. One person on here said use soap diluted in a spray bottle. What's your personal stance?

Eldorado2K nailed it.
If for some reason you find you missed a spot on the badging after your done washing, you can always use a quick detail spray and the brushes. Just be gentle.

Wow, thanks for the amazing response! I will for sure save myself some dollars since they are already maintained to begin with! What do you typically use for a tire degreaser? I've heard good things about megs super degreser. What do you think? Thanks!

You’re welcome.
And yea that’s usually my go to product for cleaning tires during a normL bucket wash. I’ve been trying out some other degreasers lately just to see if I’m missing out on anything, but I think Meguiars Super Degreaser is still my #1 choice because it does the job + it’s excellent value. Only costs about $20 bucks and that gallon makes 5 gallons when you dilute it at the recommended 4:1 [4 parts water, 1 part concentrate] Works great as a tire cleaner.
