Re: Removing scratches on aluminum grille
If it is a factory grille, odds are it is coated with an anodizing agent and polishing can and will remove scratches, but cause a dulling effect later, that would not happoen if left alone.

Re: Removing scratches on aluminum grille
I haven't found a solution to this either. If it was me... the shop would be buying me a new grill. Just sayin...
