YOur car sure does look nice from the pics. If you are satisified with the finish (excluding the grille) then I would just continue the washing /wax method you are on. The test for determining if your finish is free from contaminants is simply put your hand inside a plastic baggie and run it across the lower body panel. If is hesitates at all, it needs to be clayed. Many times we get used to the look, and never see / feel how a show car should look. Since I'm a recovering perfectionist I always see ways to improve a car. YOu should not fear the clay process, if you follow the intructions you will do fine. What products are you using? If you enjoy the waxing every month or so, thats fine, If you want to spend more time enjoying the car, and less time detailing, use a synthetic. as far as your grille, since it is made of molded plastic with chrome paint overlay, you might do ok just buying a can of touch up chrome paint. aside from that, I know of nothing else you can do. If you get a spray can spray some in a jar and use a small artist brush to touch up, as you would a paint ship. Gary
