Billet Grille + First car wash after 2 weeks

Hand washed, tried to fill buckets at the carwash but their water was dirty so I ended up going to the closest stop and shop to buy gallons of water. Wash took over an hour, I used optimum no-rinse + 3 mitts, a sponge, and a bunch load of micro fiber towels. I had some drying towels I picked up from auto zone, but it was pretty darn hard to dry it. The washing was easy, drying took forever. Here's a pic.

Here's the silly grille it came with.

I'm surprised you still have it on. Looks good otherwise.

You should pick up a waffle weave towel to dry your car. Safer for your paint and absorbs the water alot better than other stuff I have used. I have a stock upper grille w/ no emblem I can sell you if you want. still in great condition.
