Default Stingray emblem cleaning

I want to clean in between the letters of the 'Stingray' logo on my '69 but I don't want to scratch the paint. What is a good way to do this?

Do I need to remove the logo or is there a soft brush of some sort that I can use?

Just use Q tips, moisten tip with water. Preferably those brand that have a stiffer stem, instead of the more pliable style.

Tooth Brushes work GREAT for this. They are cheap and you can get them in any bristle stiffness you want (I use soft child brushes).
These also work for removing wax in cracks & crevices.

Cut down the bristles of a soft paint brush.

If you love your Vette enough, be a man! Use your own toothbrush!

A 74 year old man goes into the Chevy dealer on a Friday evening with a 28 year old blond babe hanging on his arm. He's approached by a salesman who asks "What can I do for you today?"
The old man responds "We'd like a nice Corvette". They walk around the corner and a see a nice blue convertible sitting there. "This Convertible is $42,000" the salesman says.
The old man looks at the girl and gets no response.
So the old man says to the salesman "We want a REALLY fast Corvette".
The salesman responds "I'll, meet you in the front of the showroom in one minute with something very special"
The couple then walks outside to the front of the dealership. As they stand there they hear the roar of a 2009 ZR-1 come around the corner. The salesman is gets out of the car, walks over to the old man and says "This fine machine is $145,000, and it's the fastest car on the road!"
The old man looks at the pretty girl and she's smiling and shaking him vigorously. The old man shouts "we'll take it!".
The salesman says "how will you pay for this sir?"
The old man replies "you write up the contracts, here's a check for $145,000 to cover the car, and I'll be in on Monday to pick it up."
Well, Monday morning comes and the salesman calls the old man over the phone "sir, there's no money in this account to cover this check."
The old man replies "yeah, I know, but imagine the weekend I just had!"

FUNNY STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny you said a 2009 ZR-1. Three nights ago, my son gets a text/pix message from his friend. Keep in mind these kids are 13. It's a picture of his friend sitting in a 2009 ZR-1 that his GRANDFATHER just bought!!! My son knows about these cars, but his buddy just thinks it's a nice 'Vette.

All I could do is apologize to my son that his grampa isn't quite that hip!!! I am good friends with his father, so I already reserved a time to go look at it, and maybe even get to go for a ride. If my Dad had bought this car...my wife would never see me again!!! I would be in his garage sleeping next to it!!!

Truth be told, my Dad is great to both my kids, but man wouldn't that be cool to take the kids for a ride in Dad's ZR-1!!!
