    So I waxed my car today, and now I have dried wax stuck in the badges where it says "GRAND PRIX GT". Does anyone know how to fix this? It looks like A$$

    eh, i wouldnt use a tootbrush. too rough.

    just take a microfiber towel, put some detailing spray on it, and get the edges of the badge. toothpick works great too to get the small cracks.

    just for future reference when you wax, buy blue painters tape from home depot or somewhere and tape off your badges, and rubber trimming around the sunroof. I also do my door handles. Saves time not having to pick the wax out of small crevaces, and you dont get any wax on the rubber on the sunroof. Wax ruins the rubber. I tape off every car that i wax

    I got wax on rubber before, it's not pretty...

    You know what takes it off? Those armor all interior dash wipes. I was surprised, took the wax right off of the rubber.

    soft toothbrush soaked in Quick Detailer would be a convenient choice, but be gentle.
