Maybe I’m the only one but does anyone have issues with our grill? That funky plastic drives me nuts whenever I clean it. I would like a real brushed metal. Not being overly familiar with mods these days is this something that is commonly done or available?

 

Mr. Funky Plastic, meet Mr. Real Aluminum!

a·lu·mi·num ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-lm-nm)

A silvery-white, ductile metallic element, the most abundant in the earth's crust but found only in combination, chiefly in bauxite. Having good conductive and thermal properties, it is used to form many hard, light, corrosion-resistant alloys. Atomic number 13; atomic weight 26.98; melting point 660.2°C; boiling point 2,467°C; specific gravity 2.69; valence 3. See table at element.

Mr. Jobes, meet Mr. Buffer!

So what are you saying? a•lu•mi•num is the material used

 

Yeah....I'm pretty sure it's the real thing as every product I've ever used to clean every chrome grill that's been on every Honda car in my garage does nothing but cause blotches and discoloration. This is the only grill cleaning solution that works on the 04 TL:

 

PAM?
Why Not?

Some Running Backs use to use it--some probably still do....

 

or



Nothing sticks to that

 

Yeah, but it tastes like shit when you're cooking a sausage in August :toothless

(Special TLover Translation: KY Jelly is sometimes used anally. "Shit" is found in an anus. A "sausage" can be slang for "penis". Therefore, I am not intimating that I've eaten KY Jelly, but rather, am pointing out that it would be rather homosexual to put KY Jelly, as opposed to PAM, on your TL grill. BJ)

 

But it tastes great for a peanut-butter-and-KY-jelly sandwich. :licka:

 

But-Ham and Jam sandwich?
What the hell are you talkin' about???

 

So, bottom line. Is the grill aluminum or what?

 

Since Sept/Oct., all dealers had no idea how to easily clean the fingerprints or dirt on it... now, they still have no idea how to do so... But I find out the guy washing my car is always doing the good job to clean it...

 

OK, so I've been looking around some and this is the only post I've found that directly relates to the issue I'm having. I just bought my 07 TL (less than 3 weeks old at this point), and I've already got some discolored spots on the metal portions of the front grill. Pretty sure it's from the salt and such they use on the roads here in Colorado in the winter. What is the no-BS best way to clean this off and protect it/keep it clean?
