For the grills, a few spritzes of PW on the grills followed by a toothbrush.

Well let's see. In/Out spray is for restoring greyed trim.
Does it clean?
Does it remove stubborn wax/polish residue permanently?
PW is NOT a dressing. It kind of acts like one, but atleast on plastic, the darkening improvement are temporary. It lasts longer on rubber and metal, but that's not its intent.
PreWow is a PreCleaner. Use it to remove unknown substances on your paint, paint scuffs and transfers, old polish/wax residue, new polish smears from your buffer because you didn't tape the trim, etc....
PW will be ready for sale in about a month!

Thanks!! Haha I was wondering too. His In Out spray looks just like Meguiar's Trim Detailer spray. Good stuff, but doesn't last long.
