Looking for some technique
Waxing a car is pretty straight forward stuff...until you get to those tangled emblems, crossed flags, etc. I poke in there as best i can but there must be a clever technique detailers use to really get it done first class...any help is appreciated

when polishing by machine, it is suggested that you use painters tape to protect them and avoid getting polish caked in them. For waxing you want to use some care when applying and use a soft toothbrush, boars hair brush, or soft paint brush to remove any errors. You can still tape as desired also.

I use Zaino Clear Sealant in and around the emblems. Leaves no residue and does not require any buffing. I have some very small detailing paddles (look almost like Q-tips) that allow me to get into the smaller areas. Great shine

I don't polish with a machine...I really am referring only to a possible way to effectively handle the care and cleaning of wax in crevises and such in the various Vette emblems. I try to poke my small finger in there with a piece of MF on it...but don't you guys have a better way...the Q-tips sound promising though...anyone else care to offer a suggestion please.
Thanks Guys
