Honeycomb grill

Take a wooden paint stirrer like from Home Depot and wrap a micro fiber towel around the end and you are in business, that's what I would use. :buffing:
 
I have no issues with my honeycomb...and I own a GTI,the entire grill upper and lower is all honeycomb.
 
I like the paint stick idea and have used paint sticks for different work arounds. Hopefully you only need to do this maybe once a year or so. I know it can be a PITA.

A good cleaning now and a good longer term sealant or coating may keep this condition in check for you, Frank. I also like the smallest wheel woolie thing too but sounds like you need a smaller clearance tolerance to fit. I have 3 different paint sticks I've "modified" to fit into certain areas and they work and they're cheap!

I've also used a good stiff brush on occasion but be careful of being a bit too aggressive with plastics.
 
You should be able to remove most of the grim with a pressure washer. Then a brush should be able to take out the rest. Why is it not working for you? It is a matter of not being able to reach the dirt? Have you tried a steamer? What product are you using to loosen the dirt before scrubbing?
 
pre treat it, megs apc, super degreaser or an ONR. Let the product help break it down, then pressure wash. Ive done so dirty grills and havent had any problems. Just soap and water may not be enough. When washing then use your brush.
 
I don't have access to a hose in my townhouse community. So unfortunately I can't use my pressure washer and my cr spotless anymore. I'm thinking of putting a hose shutoff valve under my sink to run a hose outside. The grill is protected by dlux but its been a year. Probably could use another application

A pump up garden sprayer will help to rinse off anything that the APC or degreaser loosens up. Won't be strong enough to blast away any really stuck on dirt but at least that will be all you have to clean off after.

lol ok ok... I forgot how critical this place is. I use a leaf blower or hot air when drying off my honeycomb front. And I do this immediately after my paint is dried off.
 
Some of the foaming tire products would work. I say this because it lifts away what's on the surface and leaves behind a shine.

Griots has a couple of products that are not offered here. Like a slightly thinner wheel woolly style grill and vent brush and detail stick that you put cleaning socks on.

I'm not sure if either will fit. The vent and grill brush is 7/8" and may or may not compress enough to fit.

I haven't tried them, but what about something like the Speed Master Jr wheel brush.
 
The front of my GTI is overed in honeycomb grill work. When I'm trying to apply products or give that grill work a good cleaning, I've found the small foam paint brushes you can find at a craft store or some hardware stores works really well. They come in a large variety of sizes, so it isn't hard to find one which will fit the size of the openings on your car. The smaller ones are also pretty cheap.

This is another good idea. They would fit
