Cleaning front grille

Recommended Posts

Any thoughts for how best to remove stones / leaves / dead bugs from in front of radiator on an F3x m-sport? (Short of removing front bumper) can’t reach in their with the bonnet only.

compressed air for the leaves and bugs and a long stick to knock off the rocks?

The ingress of bugs and dirt through the grilles is a real pain and very visible, to get rid of them I use a water blaster on medium pressure, and carefully aim at the bugs (from an angle to knock them off) and dirtiest bits.

Possibly not the best practice for the radiator longevity, but works well in terms of results versus effort.

Thanks Jon - wondered about combining a thin brush to get them off the radiator and then waterblast out the bottom - even a very thin vacuum extension struggles to get through the gap.
