The method I use to clean the chrome grill is to use a pressure washer (low pressure at 1,800 psi) with a 25 degree tip. Then I use the soap dispenser on the pressure washer to coat them with the soap dispenser tip. Then pressure wash the soap off using a 40 degree tip. Then rinse them with the CR Spotless watering system where the rate of flow is 3.625 gallons/minute. Then I use a 4.0 hp Air Force Blaster to remove the water.

The reason I believe this works is because (1) the pressure washer will probably get off all of the larger particles, (2) the soap will emulsify most of the scum, (3) the pressure washer rinse will blast off the emulsified scum, (4) the CR Spotless water will be aggressive in dissolving any remaining small particles that reside in the pores of the grill (talked to Chuck at CR Spotless about this) and (4) the blower will get the water off before airborne contamination has a chance to combine with any remaining water droplets. It is also important to perform this procedure between .65 and .85 hours after an early morning rain because this is when the level of airborne contamination is at its lowest point and the humidity has had a chance to come down some.

Darn I hope i get run over by you and not Wedgeduck. I bow to your superior wit.

This is when the car is still fairly clean and I do not want to do a complete wash. The refresh consists of power washing the wheels, the lower portion between the wheels and the lower part of the back. This takes about 5 minutes. The results for the amount of effort is pretty amazing. It also helps to be 68 and your eye site is not all that great.

Question: What products do you use on the grill? Will the Autoglym polish and wax do a good job?
