Emblem Clean Up
As I prep this vehicle for my buyer, I was curious about how others clean their emblems, especially the 'V8 Kompressor' badge because I can't seem to get around the nooks and crannies in the small letterings. A good amount of dust seems settled in.

Should I go with Q-tips or some other tool? TIA.

Tried it, but barely got the collected soot out. Thanks, though.

pressure wash them at the local "do it yourself" car wash, then dry inside the lettering with "fluffed up" q-tips

I use a quick shine detailer with a toothbrush and then a toothpick for the leftover caked on hard stuff whether its from wax or water deposits.
