02-05 How do you clean the grill ?

[VolleyballJIM]

I notice after washing, the spots on my 2002 grill are spotted, SO, I clean each square on the grill....uh, it takes a LONG time . . . is there any "spray" or other shorter version of cleanup that will get the grill "spotless" or similar condition. I just bought it, so I'm "good to go" for the next few months, but after that, uh, I don't think I'll be cleaning every part of the grill....Ideas?

After I wash the car I use a backpack blower on the car before wiping it down. It helps take some of the pain away. It sort of replicates what happens at a regular car wash.

When you post to the Forum, please include the model year or years of the car in the title / subject.

Like Georgia Cat, I use an air compressor to blow out all the crevices and the grill! Have fun with that.

I use a work shop blower from Home Depot. It does a great job of blowing the water out of so the small places. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-Compact-Workshop-Blower-Tool-Only- . Sorry if my link doesn't work. Search Home Depot for the Ryobi workshop blower.

2003 Thunderbird owner - I bought a small $20 electric shop blower from Costco that works great for both wheels and grill. It also work great on the trunk area where water collects in the valley's.

I learned a trick from a guy down the street who has a dozen collectible cars. He hand washes his cars at home, but then drives to the local self service car wash and just rinses his car with their "spot free rinse" cycle. I started doing that and it doesn't leave any water spots on the Tbird. I think the 4 minutes of spot free rinse is $1.50

Try adding Jet Dry or other spot free rinse aid, then blow dry.
To augment, I have an optometrist's frame heater that is a hot air device. Also a hair dryer is similar but not as hot
