Default how do i polish around and inside emblems

On my sc300 my emblems have small opening in the lexus emblem so whats the best way to get inside of that and polish/seal/wax it? Also arounf the letters of Lexus on the truck....those seem to be really the only trouble spots on the sc everything else is smooth and wide open

Around these emblems I first clean the area with Meguiar's M135 (Ultimate Quik Detailer) and a shaving brush then apply Meguiar's D156, (Ultimate Quik Wax). UQW leaves no residue and can be applied in the sun and buffed immediately much like a Quik Detailer.

The best way to get rid of the gunk and residue buildup is to remove the emblem, clean and polish the area, and then reinstall.

If you do not wish to do this, get a lot of q-tips, some foam pads, and go at it by hand.

Buy the yellow Meguiars (or similar) foam applicator pads and cut to the right size where it can fit and you can apply pressure properly. I use it quite often on my Toyota badge since it has an even smaller area to polish
