For removing dried product residue around emblems, one option for during washing the vehicle, is to use a very soft brush, along with car wash, to agitate and clean the emblems. If needed a all purpose cleaner like Meguiar's D101 All Purpose Cleaner or de-greaser like Meguiar's D108 Super Degreaser can be used, but unfortunately these options have the potential to stain the paint if left to dry, and also could affect sensitive emblem coatings or adhesives, so as a last resort if needed, use mild dilutions and rinse thoroughly. Another option if not washing the vehicle would be to use a spray detailer and a bamboo stick/skewer to get in and around the edges of the emblems to release dried residue. A microfiber towel can be used to cover the bamboo skewer to provide a less aggressive approach.

For polishing of car emblems we again want to take into account that emblems often have sensitive coatings, different from the paint on the vehicle. In general we don't want to use any strong compounds on these surfaces. We would recommend using a wax, cleaner/wax, or a mild cleaner/polish like Meguiar's Ulitmate Polish or M205 Ultra Finishing Polish to polish & protect car emblems.

Thanks for Brief Detail

But i m already try all of above mentioned procedures and can not get good result... In here mean Pakistan i think water pH level is very high therefore water will make hard stain whatever is it....
here some detailer use bathroom acid for that purpose with some dilution but my question is! is it something availble in meguiar's range for this type of issue....

We would not recommend anything beyond the above mentioned procedures. At some point removal, repair or replacement, and then re-installation of the emblem may be needed.
