hey guys need some ideas how you clean in between the bars on the grille i tried using my finger but the aluminum is so soft it bends the bars so needs some ideas.

 

Depends on the thickness between the bars, but a tooth brush, or even a fine pipe brush (the one with the soft plastic brissels)

 

I use a brush with long, plastic medium-soft bristles and/or a smaller plastic brush with shorter, stiffer bristles. The smaller one kind of has the shape of a small iron (I got the idea from using one of those soak-then-scrub foam carpet spot cleaners!). I've purchased the brushes in the past at Wal-Mart and at the supermarket in the "home clean-up" section (brooms, mops, sponges, carpet cleaning stuff, etc). The small one usually has a handle on top that makes holding and controlling it pretty easy and accurate to the touch so you can "feel" how much pressure you're putting on the grille slats.

The larger, wider brush with the longer medium-soft bristles is good right after the initial soak at the beginning when you're washing your truck to get the big stuff off. It's also good on my stock chrome rims, as the bristles aren't firm enough to make swirls in the chrome and the bristles get into crevaces that my fingers can't always reach.

I prefer the plastic bristles over anything else because they clean up well, they seem to last longer, and they don't tear-off and get stuck all over the place (ie, wrapped around lug nuts, all over the driveway floor, etc).

Hope my descriptions of the brushes made sense. If not, E-mail me off-line and I'll send you a picture of the brushes I'm talking about.

Good luck,
