    Both brush ideas sound doable. Thanks!

    Small clothes steamers work too. I have one that was $15 or so.

    Re: Getting into the nooks and crannies around emblems...

    Be very careful with those Mothers brushes. They’re some of my favorite brushes I never like to be without, but when it comes to emblems, especially plastic chrome emblems that are in good shape it’s almost always better to leave them alone because those brushes can be too aggressive. I’ve chipped a piece of chrome right off the letter with these brushes trying to chase perfection. I shouldn’t have went so aggressive.



    But they’re great for so many things. I pick some up almost everytime I place an order. They’re great low profile tire brushes.

    I got a couple of these to do trim.... great idea on the lo pro tires. My tuf shine brush moght be too agressive for maintenance washes once tires are coated in mckees. This is the ticket.

    Thanks

    You know what? There might actually be one of those hanging around my closet... I’ll go take a look.

    Good idea!
