Gti grill question..

[Jonmaddock]

Hey guys
 Just wondering how people keep their grills black? I tried a applicator pad and it took a long time to get in all the small gaps, anyone have a easier way they do?
Cheers

I use AutoGlym bumper restore, But yep......Put it on a cloth and in and out of every hole, with practice only takes about 2 mins

Best way IMO is clean the grill as normal, let it dry and use Autosmart smart trim just like spray paint leave it, no wiping required lasts along time aswell 

Job done in seconds !

303 Aeeospace Protectant for me! 

I take my grill off to clean it. Only 4 T20 screws and makes it a lot easier to clean too.

I too use Autosmart smart trim, but I used to use asda's own silicon tyre dressing spray it's only 2 quid a tin as well

Wonder if it'd fit in a typical dishwasher? Would be the ultimate lazy clean.

I hate having to clean the grills. I always think of blockbusters when i'm doing it but it makes the job no more enjoyable

I use a brush and apply dressing to the grille. Makes it easier to get into the tight corners. Then I use a microfibre to wipe each and every one in turn.

I use a microfibre to wipe each and every one in turn.

I started to do this and lost the will to live. I left it after doing about 10 hexagons.

I think I'll never get into serious detailing as I don't have the patience...I think it doesn't suit certain personality traits.

Hence my dishwasher idea...

HAHA!  Nailed it there.
I've tried to do that grill so many times and failed. Dishwasher FTW.

I find it easier to take the grille off and do it indoors whilst watching TV or something.

Yeah best way

Last time I was changing my VW badge I decided to clean and dress it and found it much more comfortable in the front room with the TV on rather than crouching on the drive






P.S. Although still takes patience


EDIT:
Slightly off topic but is it easy to remove the lower grill and fog grills? Would prefer to sort them in the front room also
