But make it a SOFT toothbrush.

I would not use a toothbrush. You need to find a brush that is small and made from horse hair. This will keep the scratches to a minimum. I have several of them and we use them like water. They are only a couple bucks. I got them from a Chemical Guys training facility in San Diego that was called The Total Pros. I believe it is now called the smart detailing university. Great little brushes though.

dont use a toothbrush on paint!, dont use a toothpick. both are too rough and will scratch the paint to hell

what you want to do is actually remove the lights, the molding, etc. then wash the area. if you want to take it a step further, then clay and polish/wax afterward. if will GREATLY enhance the look of the car.

I am about to start a package that included light removal and badge removal to clean behind everything and get it all looking perfect. Ever notice how much of a paint it is to detail around the badges and how it looks mediocre no matter what...remove them and replace them and you can make it look like it should!!!
