Beak Cleaning

Has anyone found a way to get/keep the streaks and smudges off of the beak, especially the satin-finish part on the surround (same for the rear trim piece)? It seems like no matter how or how many times I wash it, I can't get the smudges/streaks out of it.

Not a big thing, but if anyone's found the trick, I'd like to hear it.

Thanks.

Put a clear bra on it....or better yet, replace it with the RJ grill like I did.

I just use some quick detail on a soft cloth and wipe/buff it dry... no streaks for me... good luck!

This would be my recommendation. OP, maybe you can post this in the Wash & Wax section?

I use foam aerosol glass cleaner and a cheesecloth (the ones you get at Best Buy for LED screens) and it works fabulous.
