Re: brushed grille
it's the annodizing that is beat up. Remove it, and you'll have virgin metal underneath it.
Try removing it from the truck and soaking it in oven cleaner. You'll only wanna go a few min at a time, but it'll get all the clear off. Then you can scuff it with some #ooo steel wool, or polish it. Either way, it will become a part in frequent need of polishing/cleaning. |

Re: brushed grille
If after you have stripped it and you still want the brushed look, try a red Scotch Brite pad on it.
