cleaning inside badges and lettering?
How are you guys getting all the haze and product out of your lettering? For example my "Tundra" lettering that is small or the "platinum" badges have hazy looking residue in them and I am trying it all with no luck. I went at it with an air compressor and a spray bottle of water and car wash but still there. I tried Q-tips with detail spray on them but still just smears.
I wish there were some sort of micro fiber brush that would get in those tiny areas.

1$ paint brush trim down the hairs for a stiffer brush, or order some stippling brushes(swissvax style) those can be found for around 5$ shipped or less. or qtip and a light polish is what i use to clean the paint inside the emblems, that is why i debaged my car minus the middle toyota emblem....

Re: cleaning inside badges and lettering?
thanks guys. I am thinking about a debadge as well but I have a Platinum tundra and all the lettering matches well with the chrome door handles etc.
Not real sure if I want to take all the badges off. Dont you just let it sit outside a while and heat up then pull the letters off? I bought some plastic razor blades which would help start an edge to lift up and not scratch the paint.
Any tips if I decide to go that route?

Use a hair dryer and some fishing line or dental floss.
