Grille
Hi,
I've used Meguiar's trim restorer on the bumpers and trim which has worked wonders but I haven't enjoyed the same success with the black front grille. I was wondering whether anyone has had any success in restoring their grille to "like new" black?
Thanks
Ian

If you can take it off, then do so.
Use Flash liquid or something, getting into the small tricky bits with an ear bud or similar then, when dry, use Auto Glym bumber protection again using an ear bud to get into the small areas.
I got a replacement grille for mine and it took AGES to crlean off all the stuck on dirt. Be patient and go slowly.
BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE CAR BECAUSE YOU CAN EASILY ROUND OFF THE SCREWS!!!! (like me!!)

Paint it. I painted mine and it looks amazing. It doesn't look painted but it's jet black shiney and doesn't need to be Meged every couple of weeks.
