Audi Logo Dirt

Hey all. I have a question for everybody. As I type this I'm working on a 1998 A4 Avant in pearl white. I have had the car before but this time around the dirt in the logo is pretty bad. I got the majority of it out with speed shine and a bunch of Q-tips but some of it remains in where the rings overlap.

The logo I'm referring to is the one on the tailgate hatch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a whirl here in a bit. I'm on a bit of a tight schedule with this one. Wash and clay are done and I'm into the polishing now. The interior is totally trashed so that I'll take care of while the wax sets.

If you want to get it really clean, take the emblem off using floss and a hair-drier, polish the area and re-attach the emblem.

But try the toothpick method, that should work.

I would rather see you use a soft bristle toothbrush, warm water and some APC (diluted). Let it dwell for a few moments. Toothpicks arent very forgiving.....
