On my car you sicko!!!!! :lmfao

Can anyone reccomend a good brush for detailing emblems/cracks on cars? I heard that horse hair brushes work really well. Where would I buy that?

Links to purchase would be helpful.

Thanks fellow nuts. :)
 
I keep my thumb nails longer for this purpose, I take a MF towel and use my thumb nails behind the cloth to get at seams & tight edges. Too a USED tooth brush (being used softens the bristles a bit) is handy around emblems...but you still have to be careful with it

I've used my nails, thin keys wrapped in a towel, etc. I've just heard of people using really soft brushes for this purpose and I wanted to know some good ones.

I've used cans of compressed air for different things and I don't feel that air stream would be strong enough.

I guess I should have mentioned that I will be taking care of some old buildup as well.

Yesterday I spent some time digging old wax residue out of the "Acura" and "Legend" emblems on my car thinking that one of those brushes would come in handy right now.

:wait This is what I use Toothpicks and wooden skewer.

Wal-Mart sell a detailing tool that has a sharp rubber tip with a brush on the other end there are two different type.

I also mask off those areas in question
 
Yep, all those detailing brushes come in handy............. TOL has a bunch of good ones! :bigups
 
Well, I took your advice guys. Here is what I ordered:

Detail Brush Twin Tip
Detail Brush Dual-Head
Detail Brushes Ergonomic

Can't wait to brush my cracks. :lmfao
 
I have a boars hair brush and love it saves me very time. If your going to be digging a bunch of old wax buildup out of embles, before you wash the car use a tooth brush and PB TR. Makes it allot faster on the end result

Thanks for the tip. I got out some of the old wax the other day with Q-tips, my fingernails, and this thin piece of metal. (The end of the ground/power/whatever it is wire on an H3 bulb.)
 
I've used children's tooth brushes(since the kids were born) and they are even softer than worn adult ones...also I like to spray NL on the brush to clean the two sided tape holding a lot of emblems on, then it wipes right off the paint.
