    Anyone have any good ideas on how to clean these stock emblems. I am waxing my truck and they are driving me nuts. Only on the bed of the truck

    If they’re not pitted, it’s mold. Get some bathroom mold cleaner and a very soft old toothbrush. Go easy so you don’t rub off the silver.

    These are made of Silicone. You can try using buffing compound to shine them up.
