Clay bar and name badges

I'm sure the more "attentive" out there already know this, but I just discovered that clay bar is perfect for cleaning the hard to reach spaces on the name badges (PORSCHE & panamera and 4S in my case)
I always hated trying to get the dirt out of those small spaces, well the clay bar squeezes in nicely and with a small bit of rubbing cleans the up nicely.

I've always hated dirt getting into the emblem crevices on my vehicles - so I always de-badge. I like the clean look.

Another tip for emblem cleaning: small art brushes with soft bristles.

Even better than a "regular" toothbrush! Great idea...they offer replacement brush heads.

AluminumMistress is an unknown quantity at this point
Great tip! I actually did this the other day and it works wonders. Also great for the small gaps underneath the headlight (and rear lamp) housings!
