I'm going to paint my crew cab olive drab because I'm too lazy to strip off all the bedliner it's already coated with.
I stripped the grille and what a mess and PITA that was, don't want to go through that again and for a bomb around in the mountains truck anyway a nice paint job would be a waste.
Can't help with the cleaning ideas though. I'll just use soap and water if I wash it at all.
