Cleaning my honeycombe grill
«

As per the title, it's a bit awkward cleaning the grill on my mk6, i've just been using one of these
http://www.monzacarcare.com/cleaning-brushes/monza-professional-detailing-brushes/48/
but it's not ideal and doesn't really get in far enough, can someone recommend a nice soft thin brush to do the job? the problem is it's that glossy plastic that scratches easy which is the same as the B pillar trim which i'll start another thread for.
Thanks

you want something like this

got long enough bristles on it to get into the grill and they are soft enough not to scratch anything, very good brushes imo.

get this for wheel arches
http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Vikan_Long_Car_Brush_1.html
i got 2 yesterday and they are lovely to use on wheels and arches just dont get them mixed up.
buy 2 mate purely because you dont want the arch one being used for rims.

these are excellent value for money and if treated well will last you years, ive still got my big vikan brush i bought 10yrs ago and its still going strong now,i only use it to rub the wheels round and the tyres then wash it out and its lasted that long, great bits of kit imo.
got this one last week aswell for wheel cleaning

another very good brush to have in your cleaning arsenal.
