Road grit won't come off

Featured Replies

I was wanting some advice on keeping the front grille clean.  I've noticed several little spots on the car in front that are typical just from driving.  They almost look like tiny little bug spots or specks of grass or in some cases, somewhat hazy spots.  I have tried the bug and tar remover on these spots and a lot of them just will not come out, using that or doing a little mini wash, running a damp rag over the grille...even using a little soap, and gently using my fingernail.  It seems like it's stuff just stuck on there but it doesn't come off.  Any advice?  The car is a 2011 and is still fairly new. 

Wd-40 will destroy a modern cars grille.

 

For bugs, glass cleaner and a microfiber rag work wonders.

 

Some spots are chips from sand/rocks and are there to stay.

investigate using a 'clay bar' .  Detailers will sometimes put a section of nylon stocking on their hand and sweep an area of the car. anything that snags is a surface imperfection and they will clay bar it out before proceeding with the polish or wax. i have no experience with it but, I suspect you can find instructions and youtube videos demonstrating its use.
