Is there an easy way to clean the grill?
I find it to be a real pain the clean the grill with all the tiny corners and edges and small spaces it has, and I'm missing a lot just using my hands and a microfiber and plus it still takes forever. There must be an easier way right?
Thanks for any input you might have

Some will say pressure wash, but I just use micro fiber, I don't get real OCD about it , I'm sure you can find dirt in my grill at any single time.

Oh okay, I just need to relax then! I'm finding myself envious of this new larger style design on the 2017 prototype. It looks soo much easier to clean!

Thats true! But not down in crevices that I have to get 3 inches close to the see....… LOL
How you take care of a daily driver is far different than a car that you take the shows… And mine's a DD.....it doesn't merit the toothbrush in the grill step…

And I'll run mobile 1 with the normal changes, this car will get traded at 20-30 k miles… See you then Becky.....

Well said. A person could drive themselves nuts trying to maintain a show quality look on a DD. I would rather be out actually enjoying a not so perfectly spotless car, instead of being at home for hours making it perfect for the day or two until you drive it.
