Front grille

[WETZMS3]

Does anyone have any tips or brilliant idea to clean and dry the front grille relatively quick?

It's great to look at but a nightmare to clean/dry without water spots. Ill be coating the car next weekend and I'm not even sure I'll touch the grille with coating due to its design.

I use a horsehair brush then dry it with a leaf blower.

After owning both a 23 and a 25, I have to say the grill on the 25 is the worst part. I need to get a leaf blower

I bought a battery powered DeWalt leaf blower specifically for drying cars. It beats the hell out of any other method.

I just use my regular detail spray and wipe it down, never had a problem with streaks. When I do a full foam cannon and spray down with water, I use my leaf blower to blow off most of the water, then my detail towels to get any that’s left.

Big shout out to those who recommended a leaf blower. I picked up a Milwaukee 550cfm blower and a stubby car wash nozzle. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I didn't even break a sweat. Thanks my dudes!!

I always buy Milwaukee products, including blowers. I just sold my Milwaukee dual battery 600 CFM and bought the EGO 1000CFM. Talk about a difference! On the heavy side with the 56V battery. But much stronger.

I had a neighbor switch to EGO, great stuff until he needed to buy new batteries. He said the price was as much as the device itself!

Absolutely! But I use an EGO Snow Blower and use these batteries too. I got 6 of them lol

We got one of the 40V Ryobi blowers and it gets the job done - the battery powered blowers definitely make drying those hard to clean spots/crevices easy...
