    What do you guys use to clean in/around the badges? Like inside the A-C-and O? Might have already been asked...and sorry if it's a repost...but do you know how many threads pop up when you search for badges? Lol.

    I usually don't either. But today I was washin it and I got to lookin and could see a difference in the color. I got it as good as I could with the mitt, but it was still botherin me. I tried a Q-tip and got it a little better...but it didn't get as good as I wanted. I know it's not a big deal, I was just curious if anyone cleans in there and what they use.

    Yea...i've thought about debadging, but I figured after 5 years it'd leave behind the "ghost badge". But it's still an option I'm kickin around...
