[QUOTE="TheWolf, post: 969975, member: 12996"] [FONT="Tahoma"][SIZE="3"][B][I][U]Get Up in Your GRILL[/U][/I][/B][/SIZE][/FONT] Most of you have found that cleaning the grill can be challenging, and dirt and/or stains often remain after washing because the brick pattern is difficult to clean with just a wash pad. [ATTACH=full]254694[/ATTACH] To start, a good pressure wash to get most the loose dirt blasted off. [ATTACH=full]254695[/ATTACH] It is impossible to scrub all the visible areas from the outside, so I start by raising the hood and soaking the back of the grill with [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-waterless-car-wash.html"]Waterless Wash[/URL]. Another good option is using a [URL="http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f209/adams-polishes-detailing-guide-45736/#post940153"]Rinseless Wash dilution[/URL]. [ATTACH=full]254696[/ATTACH] Used the Wheel Brush to scrub everything I could reach. [ATTACH=full]254697[/ATTACH] After closing the hood, soaked the grill again. [ATTACH=full]254698[/ATTACH] Scrubbed with the Detail Brush, paying attention to getting the nooks and crannies of the grill. [IMG]http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/danwolf73/Grill%20Cleaning/6_zpsrfbsfljp.jpg[/IMG] To address some of the tighter areas that the brush does not completely clean, I used a foam detailing swab to scrub each little brick opening. [ATTACH=full]254699[/ATTACH] After scrubbing just one row of bricks, the swab had picked up a bit of dirt. [ATTACH=full]254700[/ATTACH] Rinsed the swab out, scrubbed another row, rinse and repeat. Don't forget the lower grill. After rinsing, I blew most of the water off with the Master Blaster, then partially raised the hood and used a microfiber towel that was damp with [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-waterless-car-wash.html"]Waterless Wash[/URL] to wipe any remaining areas that still showed dirt. [IMG]http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/danwolf73/Grill%20Cleaning/9_zpsaje18e6a.jpg[/IMG] Nice and clean! [ATTACH=full]254701[/ATTACH] [I](Thanks for the write-up idea [MENTION=8084]The Macf[/MENTION])[/I] [/QUOTE]
