rs grill cleaning/shine

[rhys davies]

Fitted a new rs grill recently in matt black I gave the car a good clean the other day but the grill is no as shiny as it was so is there anything I could apply to it to give it a shine prefably something that wont go on the paint work and give it the horrible oily look ?

Sorry, you do realise Matt paint isn't supposed to be shiny don't you?

Hey don't take the piss out of Dishwashing soap lol I use Tesco own brand lemon washing up liquid to wash an then Showroom Shine to buff it up nice. Works a treat an looks all nice an shiny plus the bonus is I don't use loads of Showroom Shine

Not sure if srs.


As for the grill, I'd take it off and spray it with some satin black. Looks great and keeps the shine but not too shiny that it looks over the top. Nothing else needed to keep it like that after, will last a while.
