TL Front Grill and Rims
I was wondering what everyone is using to clean/polish the chrome grill and rims of their 09 TL.
I bought some never dull but wasnt sure if I could/should use it on the front grill. I would think the rims are okay but you never know.
Would appreciate your thoughts.

Clearkote Vanilla Mooosewax is a great product for light cleaning of areas like that. Its great on CC's wheels also......

I'm not certain but I think the chrome grill on your TL really isn't chrome. Using a metal polish on it would probably harm it if that's the case.

NeverDull is a cotton wadding that is used to clean up chrome or any metal surface.
If you have an 09 then put a few layers of a sealant on the wheels and just use a dedicated sheepskin mitt on them. Unless your neglecting them there is no need for cleaners.

Never Dull is actually better on bare metals......all it really is is mineral spirits in a recycled cotton. Nothing unusual about MS in car care products........not the best for plastic though.

Well I know the wheels are steel or Aluminum or an alloy. As for the grill, I cant vouch for its makeup......But, the VMW is great on everything on a car. Even the rubber moulding...

I have optimum poli-seal and pinnacle souveran wax.
Also, In addition to the plastic metal in the front and back there is a lot around the windows. Would you also clean this metal that way or another way.
Thanks
