Here is the progress after 24 hours of soaking and gentle brushing with a plastic bristle scrub brush. For the honeycombed areas I have been using a .45 caliber plastic bore brush, though a shotgun bore brush might be a better fit if I could find one. The Super Clean is even progressing well on the the thick argent paint material on the inside of the grill. There has been no effect on the plastic so far. It is still hard, no softening of the outer surface whatsoever.

Steve, would a pressure washer do a better job on the tight places?

Steve;

Are you running that SuperClean diluted or at 100% strength?

Running at about 90%. I added some water just to get it at a high enough level to cover the grill. I may try the pressure washer soon on the honeycomb area.

And here is the final result after 48 hours of soaking and some scrubbing with a bristle brush and 000 steel wool. Now its time to soak the other side grill...

You do nice work Steve. I like your MacGyver-like approach to tuff problems. Lookin' good!
