any tricks for removing accum. dirt around 560SL emblem?
I recently purchased a 1986 560SL. The car is in excellent shape but after 20 years of life, there is alot of accumulated dirt around the 560SL emblem. I have tried Qtips/windex, etc. but I have not been successful. Any ideas on a product to use as well as a device to clean this area? Thanks.

You could try a dremel with a light brush or pointed buffing fitting. You could also remove the emblem from inside the trunk lid.

Just carefully remove the push nuts on the back side of the emblem. Comes right off real easy and then you can polish your little heart out. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and pull them straight off.

I think the 560SL (only?) embelem is vacuum plated plastic, and is held on with double-sided tape. With GREAT care, it can be removed intact - I've done it. I bought a used embelem with no tape and successfully renewed it with double-sided trim tape made for this purpose, trimmed with a razor blade.
