I recently took a long summer roadtrip and discovered my the intake fings of my radiator overstuffed with insect debris. Is there a safe way to effectively clean the fins without bending or damaging them? Thanks

- Spray water from the back side of the radiator.
- Shoott compressed air from the back side or the radiator.
- Lighlty brush downward on the front of the radiator to clean off the larger bugs.
I've got a screen in fornt of my AC Condensor to catch the bugs so they don't go into the fins.
Good Luck

Use a water hose. Not too much pressure. Shoot it from the back if you can.
My suggestion is a blast of air from a shop compressor. Using a bug screen is worth it.
