yeah. don't be so meticulous

try some degreaser, gets dirt to go away.. then for all the spots a rag won't do, use a small brush or a q-tip..

or stop being so meticulous

The stock grill is a bit of a pain in the ***** especially when you get wax on it.... I say put a billet grille on then use windex to get the shine.....

i hate it too, but for a different reason. i have the gt500 front end and my car is black. Water gets into the crevices and it is impossible to dry. After i wash and dry the car, will have water marks all over the front bumper.

I too have had problems getting my grille to look clean. Although, I just quit worrying about it and leave it as is. It takes way to much time to use a brush to scrub each opening every time I wash the car. The only time it gets cleaned like that is for a show.

Billet grille is the best way to go, whatever flies into the grill can easily come off and everything else pretty much stays behind the griill

+1 The billet grill is an easy maintenance deal.
