Detailing around emblems??

[Success]

Can you tell me how you go about removing dried wax around emblems? I'm using qtips but what product works well?

Qtips work for me. I tried some of those pointy qtips they sell here but I didn't think they did any better than old fashioned qtips. I'd like to hear what else others have used.

Soft bristle tooth brush works for me.....

i use some QD any brand and a boar hair brush, stiff enough to remove the wax and soft enough NOT to scratch the paint (clear coat)

how about old dried, caked wax?

I use q tips, tooth brushes, and patience.

maybe some APC and a brush but i'd be really careful with APC on exterior. Might strip the wax

I made my own tools for this purpose.

I used various diameters of wooden dowel with pieces of soft chamois glued to the end. They will not only get right up to the edges of lettering, but will reach down into the inner areas where the painted body can be seen. Like in an "O"

One length of dowel and one chamois will make (probably) fifty tools.

Popsicle sticks.

You can do the old rub 'em on concrete trick to get about any type of edge you need.

Also, cuticle sticks...but the popsicle are much softer.

Some great ideas here. Might have to try the popsicle stick idea with a old MF towel.
