Re: Detailing Tips for Honeycomb Grills ?
Use a spray version such as Adam's in and out or Megs.

I hate the grills on some of the new Lexus'. You can waste an hour or two on those things

If I got one of those Luminess airbrushes it might turn in to something like that old Reese's commercial, ie. "You got chocolate in my peanut butter. No, you got peanut butter in my chocolate."
"Your leftover foundation got in my trim protectant."
"No, YOUR leftover trim protectant got in MY foundation. So now you can't use the airbrush anymore !"
I suppose I could be proactive and buy (2) Luminesses ...

So just wiping off the excess trim protectant from the paint with a towel is adequate. That's good to know, I would have guessed it would make a smudgey/smeary mess.

Re: Detailing Tips for Honeycomb Grills ?
Great topic and very timely as my buddy down in Tenn just got a Veloster N and not only does it have a honeycomb grill but its gloss black What I plan on telling him is this, spend the time cleaning it really good initially, probably going to have to do it 2 or 3 times. I would then wait till is dried completely....then, wet down the grill again and spray some 303 Touchless Sealant (or similar product) and coat it. After this, keep an eye on it and maybe just to be on the safe side or fanatical side some would say, re-apply the spray on, hose off product once a month, its not like your going to be using too much anyways, right!

That's an interesting idea. But do these spray on/hose off products play nice with black plastic ? And do they offer much/any UV protection ?

I know they work great on painted plastic grills, no doubt and I've been using them for a couple years now on our rides and had ZERO issues. I'd say on my old Abarth it always helped keep the rubber at the bottom of the windows coated and protected, looking new always.
