How to clean the grille on Mini Cooper S?
Even with my tiny fingers..I can't get the plastic honeycomb shape grille, nice and shiny..I try to dry all the combs with a microtowel ...I don't have a blower!! sometimes I get hard water white spots..
now, I want to try Black Wow? or 303 protection? but how do you work in a little space? I can't just spray the grille and wipe clean, so do I have to use a
q-tip in each little slat? or wear cotton gloves and stick my finger in each weave? Huh???? ladyvalea

May be you can use a detailing brush to clean them. But as for protecting them, i'm not sure if a brush is also an option. Let's wait for what the experts say.

I have a honeycomb grille on my Escalade. I use Q-Tips to clean the openings. Or try these:
The Edge Foam Detailing Tips, swab detailing tips, auto detail swabs, detail swabs

Welcome-
+1 on the detailing brush for cleaning.
For protecting I use 303 with foam tipped swams. I love the Edge swabs but I find them too large for this particular purpose. There are some amazing foam swabs available (I think they are used in cleaning pc boards etc.) but I don't have a link to them available right now.

I love my Lake Country Grout Sponge's for my grill when washing, but mine isn't honeycomb, you'd have to wiggle it around section by section. Or you could get one of the soft yellow grout sponges, or even the stiffer orange one, from Home Depot and cut slits in it. They are only ~$1.50 so it's no problem to have several and dedicate them for specific tasks. The foam might work for applying dressing and you could cut the slits to the perfect size.

Use your compressor with the air blowing tool to get the water out. I use it on my plastic mesh bumper inserts.

Aerosol duster for drying if you don't have a compressor. For cleaning use a boars hair brush, for protecting I would use a trim detail spray like meguiars has
