Debris in front grille of PTT

Right underneath the fog lights on my PTT a lot of debris has built up, leaves, cigarette butts etc. Does anyone know of a good way to get this stuff out? I can't reach it since the grill gets in the way. Thanks in advance.

yeah, dont let it happen, so I added this grill...

and careful gentle hose only cause a pressure washer will bend the fins on the intercoolers

Thanks Tom, until I can get a real grill added any suggestions on how to get the stuff out?

BTW - what parts are available to install the grill in your pic?

Thanks.

gentle hose is all you can do and be careful

lots of grille options, I got wire mesh and powder coated it, but plastic works also

it is a DIY and plenty have but I had my dealer do it.

I used some chop sticks and a plastic fork and I got the debris out. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

real issue (more for the race cars) is that sometimes that "debris" is a rock or something that can damage your intercoolers or radiatiors
