any tips from those who polish their dattos ..... how the hell do you clean in and around the cursive type badges like the one at the bottom of the pic
.... got me stumped there's enough wax in mine to do the whole car over again

Toothbrush

I use a Chrome/metal poilsh and a toothbush as Phunk said, its like a mild liquid abrasive so go easy on it.

haha yea i have the same problem with the deluxe and the 2nd badge... it sux!yea maybe a tooth brush will work.. ill give that a try next time!!!

how to kleen steel badges and getem lookin new ,
you will need 2lts of coke ,a flat piece of glass ,wetndry 800 1000 1200 1500 2000 grit a sheet of each will do . a high speed drill or a super cheap electric die grinder and a minture buff which is about 5cm round.
So the next step is to soak the badge in coke for a day to clean it up a bit .then give it a clean. start by buffing the edges of the badge until your happy wth the shine ,then give it a wash ,next lay your sheet of 800 w/d on the glass gritty side up ,using warm soapy water and run the face of the badge across the paper on 45s work your way up to 2000 grit doing this cheking the face of the badge as you go is should come up nice .DONOT try this on plastic or chrome badges this is for steel badges only cheers geoff..........

cheers guys looks like it's time to get a new toothbrush then, have to see how i go tomorrow arvo with finishing off polishing it for the melb cruise
thanks to geoff for how to polish the badge to
also found that detailer quality wheel cleaner, undiluted, cleans them up real good to, works on all chrome and metal to get it looking like new

a variable speed dremel with a 4mm polishing wheel...and a VERY steady hand.

Or just buy a new badge from Nissan

You can also try this ,sand whole badge with 320 dry. kleen it and paint with 2 pac black .then proceed with sandinig the face and using the process ive mentioned .It will leave you with a black edging and a nice polished face .........

You have to polish it with a lot of patience
