How would one go abouts cleaning a grill like this one? I tried a Swissvax brush but its too stiff to get in each hole... There must be a easier way??

Have you tried something like this?
Lug Nut Brush,Clean Wheel Brush,clean brake calipers, clean lug nuts, boar's hair wheel brush, best wheel brush, wheel lug nuts (http://www.autogeek.net/lug-nut-brush.html)

I never used Swissvax brush but they look similar. I also got some other brush that has a bigger diameter and softer bristle. I'll try to take a pic of it tomorrow.

The Daytona jr brush may work.

I agree with Bunky. I've ordered two just for that purpose.

Individually cleaning each hole is never going to be quick. I have these foam swab sticks in my shopping cart:
Lake Country Detail Sticks, detailing sticks, motorcycle detail sticks, foam detail sticks (http://www.autogeek.net/detail-sticks.html)
I can't think of any other way to put plastic dressing on, that would not make a mess. I thought of spraying 303 but it would run. Other than the foam swabs, you'd have to do the old poking a cloth into each hole with a screwdriver.

thanks for the suggestions guys... Too bad the foam tips come in a 12 pack.. I think I really only need like a 3 pack or something like that.. The Daytona brush is just too big to stick in the holes lol..

Go to a store like A.C. Moore they have tons of stuff! Foam on sticks like you wouldn't think.

I think thats too big for the small honeycomb.

I use the lugnut brush that was posted earlier. Works great
