Best way to clean grill?

james1138 · 04-23-2023, 07:53 PM

I have an M340i and with its complex grill and active air intakes, I have a hard time cleaning it thoroughly. Any advice or tips to get the grill thoroughly and easily cleaned?
Thanks!

My grill is PPF 'd and ceramic coated and the spring bugs clean off easily with instant detailer

Do you have a picture? I'm not sure how you have an issue with like normal detailing tools.

I should have stated that I’m relatively new to this, so maybe I just font have the right tool. But here are some pics.

I'd use my soft Detail factory or CarPro brush for something like that

A good quality detail brush.

Dang. Yeah. That's way more difficult to clean than mine is.

OK, thanks. I’ll Google both of those options!

I wasn’t sure if there’s some sort of big soft bristle brush that I could run across the grill and the lower grill to make less work.

Detail factory ultra soft brush. They’re about $15. Get the large.

Use ultra soft detailing brushes, I get mine from AliExpress.

I thought this was going to be about BBQ maintenance.
