R56 Rear Grill Cleaning Method?

After washing, drying and detailing my car I invariably find that the rear grill (around the rear foglights) has not been cleaned to my satisfaction. The grill itself is solid so water collects in the honeycomb and thereby traps dirt. I try to monster fluffy it to no avail. The one thing I tried that appears to work but seems to be overkill is to use a shop-vac to remove the excess water.

Does anyone have any suggestions or methods to take care of this? Hopefully, it will not involve q-tips and detail spray.

If you don't have an air compressor, just hook up your shop-vac hose onto the exhaust and blow the water out. Just make sure it is blowing CLEAN air.

I use my air compressor to blow water out of all kinds of nooks and crannies.
