Front Emblem
OK, I'm an idiot so stop picking on me.
I decided I'd clean up the Vette for winter storage. So, I claybar the front, give it a littel Meguires polish and finish it off with Zymol.
I figured I could do a beter job if I took off the front emblem, right, no white powder caught in the cracks, right?
Well, guess what. I dropped the little nut down the hole into the cravass that it is seemingly impossible to get it out of.
Any suggestions for an idiot?

Still haven't found that other one. Gus the car god must've needed one. And to think, I used to work on jets in the Air Force.

At least you have some idea where it is. What's worse is loosing something like that and you don't have a clue as to where it went.
Suggestion, use a soft bristled toothbrush around those emblems and such, to remove wax residue. They work great, and won't scratch the paint.
