What do you guys use to clean the front grill?  As worried it is starting to lose it colour slowly.

I tend to give it a wash over then brush AG Vinyl and Rubber care into it, leave it a few minutes then wipe the excess off with a cloth before buffing with a clean cloth. Brings it out lovely  :happy2:

Bit of a ball ache fiddly job though...

Take it off the car. Much easier.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
