Hey guys, last weekend I bought a 2010 F150 XLT with a 6 bar chrome grille. It's my first pick up and I love it. Already in the last week I have a few bug spatters on the grille.

I'm trying to figure out what would be the best method to clean the chrome grille without causing any damage or scratches to it?

 

i have heard it scratches (chips) by itself. so far, i haven't had any problems with mine though. i just was it regular.

 

I actually use chrome cleaner/polish spray from Harley....works great and coats the chrome. a can will last about a year.

 

I wash then wax. The mothers wax/cleaner works perfect for mine.

 

I just use run a microfiber cloth over it after washing the truck, and it shines up nice

I've got a pair of small rock chips in one side, but I haven't noticed any flaking. When it does start to flake, I plan on getting a base model black plastic grill for an XL or something and just painting it to match the truck anyhow.

 

Spray wih lemon Pledge prior to a bug day (or regularly) bugs come off much easier... Use it on my bike fairings as well

 

wd40 works for everything!

 

imo...i wouldnt put wd-40 on it ..i would use the pledge or the chrome cleaner/ polish first
