Cleaning grill
I was wondering how to clean up my grill shell before putting it on. I want to get it looking pretty good if there are any products or anything. Thanks

i took mine to the car wash, and lightly went over it, mine was pretty much dust covered from sitting so it didnt take much.

Some products that I've found that work good on grille shells are Turtle Wax chrome polish, Never-Dull, Meguiars' show car glaze, and rubbing compound.

These grills are clear annodized. You can't polish them without scraping off the coating.
