Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
Having just spent the best part of 2 hours cleaning the grill on my Mark VI GTI, using nothing but microfibres, fingers and various potions.
I would really like to hear your interesting and creative methods for cleaning all of the crevices on your GTI Grille.
Best Regards
Keith

Another one for cotton buds, an old tooth brush plus normal paint brush with the bristles cut down a bit.

Bare in mind he's asking about a mk6 which has a gloss black plastic grill, so a tooth brush will be too harsh and will scratch the plastic.
Your best bet is a couple of small envy type detailing brushes or your finger in a microfibre cloth, unfortunatley i don't think there is a quick way to do it although a jet wash does help.

yep... spray with mild TFR or similar... work into crevices with envy detailing brush, wash away with jet wash.. 2 bucket wash as part of your routine, dry. job done. maybe what.. 5-10 minutes work? :smiley:

After a good clean/degrease/dry I applied Gtechniq Permanant trim restorer. Now less of a chore to clean and treat every time :smiley:

Thanks for the ideas gentlemen,
The C4 trim restorer looks very interesting. I'll have to try and get hold of some.
Thanks again
Keith.

Valet pro sash detailing brush or raceglaze detailing brush kit. i use VP citrus wash normally or you could use apc. normally give it a blast of air to dry it afterwards but thats me with my ocd!

Glad I came across this as I was about to ask the same question. I just finished washing the car for the first time and my first thought whilst spending 10 mins doing the grill with a microfibre cloth was that it is going to be an absolute nightmare if we get a summer this year and the flies are out.
Time to invest in some chemicals!
