    Cleaning badges and cracks when going rinseless

    Wanted to see what other people are doing to clean the badges and trim edges(window edges, headlight edges, brake light edges, etc) when doing a rinseless wash.

    Do you clean these areas first, before the rest of the paint? What do you use as your cleaning solution - rinseless soap or APC with a soft brush?

    I use rinseless wash solution and different things really. Most of the time to be honest, I stick a credit card inside a microfiber towel and go to town. For badges, I use a q-tip wrapped in a microfiber towel to do those.

    Ya, I generally do. It's best to always pre-soak, period. Gives the solution time to encapsulate the dirt.
