Title: Front Grill
Post by: aledbeswick on March 18, 2012, 11:08:08 pm
What is the best product to use on the front grill? The plastic is looking a little faded, is there anything that will bring this back to life?

For ease of use auto smart smart trim aerosol. It's what I use on mine. Last for ages.
