    Golf R Cleaning Grille

    Does anybody know how to properly clean or polish scuff marks out of the piano black grille? Somebody from work has suggested marine grade polish seeing that it wont cut into the finish. Any ideas?

    I think once they are scuffed you pretty much stuck with it, it is very soft plastic... I use window cleaner to clean them and get that reflective finish.. if you want to go to the trouble of applying a sealer or wax that is fine to, though it is a bit of work to get all the dried product out of the sharp corners.

    I'm using Wurth BMF cleaner for delicate surfaces, and must admit I used it on our Touareg to clean the wheels. The product is very expensive but it cleans like nothing else.

    These guys are using probably the same or similar product with their cleaning gun.

    As you are in Melbourne, give either TigerSoft or Final Inspection a call

    The first is a reseller for Final Inspection detailing products

    Final Inspection details at least one R every week !

    They did my R earlier this year when I drove down and removed marks from the B pillars and grill

    They have suitable products and gear you can buy to do it yourself or they will detail for you.
