About to wash my G80 for the first time and my goodness this car was designed by carwash sadists between the lower grilles and wheels.

Anyway, anyone have any tips for cleaning behind the honeycomb grilles on the lower outer portions of the G80 bumper? Other than to buy the aftermarket carbon inlets (or the same ones in painted gloss black).

Thanks in advance.

i would think apc + pressure washer

Adding to 1209582 , I would think a small wheel woolie and/or detailing brush to agitate the APC

I'm looking at a front image of the car haven't seen it in person but IMO should be like any other car with grilles really. I would use a soft brush like detail factory for example with my usual car shampoo, unless it's really really dirty then might need a bit of APC but yeah

The grille itself is easy. It's what is behind it that is hard to get at with the grille in place that is the challenge.

Ahh gotcha, yeah I see now with that closeup what you mean. I don't have your specific model but my 335is also has some grilles to on the sides and I just have them fully removed, I clean inside with a towel.

But yeah ehhh in this case... I'd say try a cleaner like an APC diluted for exterior use and try to pressure wash behind. Or actually maybe a "EZ Detail" type brush could work to.
