Detailing around badges
I have had my 8 for about a year now and have done a reasonable job of keeping it clean. However, the paint near the badges seems to be very difficult to clean and is really starting to look nasty. I considered removing the badges, detailing then re-installing but after reading the badge removal posts that seems like too much of a hassle. Anyone have any ideas?

Avoid using carnauba wax. A sealant (synthetic polish) will work really well and if you happen to not buff it off completely, it will just leave an almost clear haze. Just use a microfiber towel and don't buff it off too hard to get every last bit off the edges so you won't cause scratches.

what about the "inbetween" parts?

A detail clearcoat polish allows you to hit the badges and the paint so you don't have to proceed with a seperate process on the two or have any issues getting inside the badges. |
i use q tips and soap to get those areas clean. :\ hope that helps

just dont rub too hard with the qtips or u'll scratch the paint.

A soft plastic brush or old toothbrush would work too ;) Would hold up better than a wet q-tip, IMO :)

^^^^ Yup. I bought a set of artists brushes from the craft store. Works great for removing dirt, excess dry wax, and random junk from all the little crevices. I have a BB and havent noticed any scrates interior or exterior.

q-tips and some mean green.
