Polishing the hood star emblem and alternatives

Hi all,

I noticed while washing my car that getting te spots off the hood emblem is not easy. What do you all do to get it shiny?

Also are there any alternative star emblems not badges you can put on a w212? Slightly larger and round edges might be nicer.

Thanks

I'd try some crisco or some bacon grease first

I just use wax on mine. Works perfectly and protects it as well.

Just use same Maguire's wax I use on rest of car. Works great. Assume you are talking about the Star and not the M-B logo.
Caution! Read the Operator's Manual section on cleaning the car. You can use chrome polish ONLY on the exhaust tips, at least in 2010. Do NOT use it on anythng else.
