Cleaning a Honeycomb Grill

Okay, so It got VERY dirty, and even after I washed the body, I notice that the grill still has dirt residue in the little hexagons. Besides using a tooth brush, how might I clean them up?

maybe a powerwasher if you havent tried that yet. and if that doesnt work, i wouldnt use a toothbrush haha. I bet you can use a big brush and just scrub hard and it might still get the crap inside the grille.

How bad is it? Doesnt dirt come off pretty easy just spraying it down with a hose, at a semi high pressure?

Go buy some armor-all wheel cleaner. It comes in a spray bottle. My girlfriend hadn't washed her accord since december, spray some of that stuff on the wheels and every ounce of brake dust and dirt came right off with a hose...
