Tips for detailing around Honda emblem,,,
 
Who knows how to wax around the Honda emblems and places where wax gets into hard to reach areas. How do you avoid it(wax where you don't want it) and still keep it shinny,,,,or how do you get the wax out of areas you can't get to easiely???:confused:

Get yourself some Turtle Wax ICE and you can wax around the emblem all you want and won't see it with great results! :D

The reside left by MOST (yea I know there are many type of wax but generally) is just like dust by the time it dries and the toothbrush just loosens it up. If you have any misgivings try it on a spot down on the rocker side strips where they join the fender and the screw heads that hold in the fender liners and you can test it and see if works great even on the Phillips head screws down there.

thanks for the tip,,,I will try it and see how it works,,,,;)

Cool
 
That's new to me, too. Sounds like Claymore knows what he's talking about though. (He always has so far, in my experience.) :)
I will give it a shot next time. I have only waxed my car once, other than automatic carwash "wax" which isn't really wax, and Quick Detailer. Getting about time for another wax job, but it's SO DAMN HOT in Alabama right now, it might have to wait a while. When the time comes, I will try it out (with my wife's toothbrush, of course).:D
