I don't get those type of leaves in FL, but do get debris in that same spot on my F-Sport. My gas blower does the trick every time. I didn't buy the blower for that reason. Use it for cleaning up after I do landscaping. LOL Also great for drying the car after washing.
You're blowing through the front of the grill and getting them out that way?
No, that would just make it worse. If I aim at an angle on one side, the stuff spins around and shoots out the grill on the other side. On both the top and bottom part. Seems to work. The blower puts out a lot of volume of air. My neighbors probably think I am nuts when I take a leaf blower to my car.
But in Florida, we don't get the change of seasons and large leaves dropping like up north so this might not work with the larger leaves. I just get small debris and dried up insects, etc. I moved down here a bit more than 10 years ago and miss the change of seasons.

I'm going to try it as well. Leaves all over this time of year in NJ. Stay safe in FL with the storm - we have a property on the west coast on Sanibel Island and I hear they're getting pounded.
Thank you. Got really bad winds and rain starting last night at 11PM. I live in a newly constructed home so I wasn't worried about damage since it is built to the latest codes. Was more worried about power outages that could last for days. Have a generator but still. Got lucky there but thousands are without power still. Sanibel Island is really nice and the storm is on that side now. Hope all is well with your property there.
Open the hood and there should be 5 or 6 clip on the front black plastic cover.push it in to remove to clip and remove the cover then you can access the grill and vaccum or remove by hand

My man I need a video really bad, not everyone knows car well haha. I have some bigass leaves stuck in, I tried air compressor - ain't do nothing but messed them up more, I guess when they are wet they shirked and got in, now they all dried up and expand and stuck, no way for them to get out.
Hopefully you or someone will clean it over a weekend and post a tutorial video, or just a tutorial of how to open front bumper and grill in general you know

Great idea. Surprised no one (including me) thought of this. Very easy to remove and replace... Thanks!
So I went out and snapped some photos to show the panel to be removed and the clips that hold it in. Just push down on the center and they release.
I'm trying to understand this - once you push in that panel, what happens? You can access the inside from UNDER the hood there?
You don't push the panel and the clips as previously described to be pushed in
don't get pushed in either. They are pry clips. IOW you pry the center insert out and the bottom part can be removed releasing the panel. Here's what they look like removed and the tool that is used to remove them. However you can use a small knife to pry them out carefully.
Just push down on the clip i circle and u can remove the whole big piece in order to access the grill. When put the clip back in make sure to push it up then push down to tighten it
Clip need to look like this when install then push down 1 click to tighten it
