GRILLE CARE INFORMATION 

aFe Power Scorpion Grilles are the finest in the industry but do require normal care. Wash regularly as you would 
when caring for your vehicles. Never use dish soap. 

GLOSS BLACK FINISH 

aFe Power Scorpion Grilles with gloss black powder coated finish may be washed regularly as you would when 
caring for your vehicles finish using soap and water. aFe Power Scorpion Grilles should be waxed at the same time 
that you wax the vehicle. As a rule, anything you use to clean your vehicles painted surfaces can be used to clean 
and maintain your aFe Power Scorpion Grille. A gloss powder coated finish can be cared for in the same fashion 
that you would care for your 

vehicle’s

 factory paint job. Never leave wet water spots as that may leave a blemish. 

MATTE BLACK FINISH 

Paint warranty applies to defects in material and / or workmanship, it does not cover the matte finish surface 
appearance. To enjoy the matte appearance for many years to come, please follow these owner care and 
maintenance tips. Get a no-

shine matte car wash soap that uses no fillers, no silicone, and won’t strip your matte 

paint of its layer of protection. Do not use wax, detail spray, armor all®, or any products made for normal paint. 
Use only products specifically developed for matte finish paint. Do not use products that are even mildly abrasive, 
such as polishes, glazes, or rubbing compounds. do not use mechanical cleaners or polishers. Do not use terrycloth, 
cloth, or paper towels. Do not rub the finish vigorously, this will burnish the paint finish, causing a permanent shiny 
spot. Shiny spots cannot be removed. 

Do not use commercial car wash facilities or their shine enhancement products. Most car wash brushes, large 

mechanized “towels,”

 and shine enhancement products can damage matte paint. Remove foreign substances such 

as insect remains, tar, and road debris using a soft applicator and a mild solvent; saturate and soak area before 
cleaning

rub lightly. 

Hand-wash with a soft wash mitt and mild cleaning product safe for matte paint. Use microfiber cleaning cloths 
with alcohol-based window cleaner for basic surface clean-up.
