Cleaning Between Model Number Lettering
So, I'm new here and this question may have been posted before but I'm not really sure what search terms would bring it up. What is the best way to clean in between the letters that denote the model number on the back of the car. So, I just bought a Panamera and I have a classic Benz E series, both of which have metal model numbers affixed to the body. In the case of the Panamera, the car is very clean and well kept, except between the letters spelling out "Panamera" on the back.
I am thinking that using a Q-tip may be the solution, but is there a cleaner or wax or instant detailed that someone has experience with that provides great results?
Many thanks!

I use the Q-tip for lettering. It is also good at fine wax removal to on the edges of the letters.

Use a boars hair brush and some APC to do the initial cleaning and use the brush and your wash soap there after.

The best way is to blow out the dirt by one, or all, of the following means:
- Pressure Wash.
- Air Compressor Tool.
- Tornador Air Tool.
- Steamer.
Follow that up with a soft brush as Rsurfer mentioned.
Final wipe down with mist of product and a microfiber towel.

I use a rubber tipped detail tool and a quick detail spray. They sell a kit here, but the brushes are AWFUL and the reviews show it. They are gray, and one is a dual sided dash vent tool, and the other has a rubber tip at one end and yellow bristles brush at the other. The first time I touched the brush, the bristles started falling out. Now they are completely gone, and I dont bother with the vent tool, but the rubber tipped tool is worth its weight in gold. I'm going to buy another set soon just for that. It gets wax/compound/etc out of nearly any crevice.
Edit: I guess they took them off because they were junk. It was the CG 3 brush kit.

Hard to tell in the pic, but it's not a cone. The tip is essentric, and it has a sort of blade edge (pointing directly at the camera). The profile is kind of like a spatula for spreading icing.

Oh ok, at 1st I thought you were referring to the tool on the far right in the pic Visitor posted [the prong looking tool]
The 2pk Mothers Detail brushes have a similar tip on their end that's useful, especially when a microfiber is wrapped around it. Using it to get caked on dried coffee out of the corners of cupholders is pretty sweet...
Also, using the brush to loosen dried up gunk around screws [found in cupholders or in the brackets underneath seats] while holding the vacuums crevice tool and watching that caked up gunk disappear is pretty awesome... Btw, only an autogeek aka detailer aka natural born neat freak would find that awesome. Lol.
