    Yeah a boars hair or detail or a detail factory ultra soft brush if paint is soft. I use to do in snow foam stage but now do as Opie does and just use bucket wash soap.

    I do feel like there a little big and bold.

    I do get that it’s a high country and part of why we buy it is to Best way to clean around emblems…… i personally would meet in the middle and replace it with a matte or gloss black version.

    I personally would probly debadge as well. All 3 of oir vehicles are that way...gives it a cleaner look imo.

    Another reason is the damn emblems are on the upper side of the fender....at eye level so at some point that paint will look dull compaired to the no doubt yearly polished paint around it

    How are folks choosing to debadge? By using floss? Fishing line? The last time I debadged was over ten years ago and I used plenty of floss.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    I used a hair dryer to heat it up. Then I used fishing line, which mostly separated the badge from the adhesive. The foam adhesive was easy to roll up/off of the car. Followed up with goo gone.
