996 radiator cleaning help wanted

[wtbzanzibar911]

Got the front bumper off and
Vacumned out debris.
But was wondering if anyone has
Used a product to clean the coils
( similar to what a/c techs use on
Home a/c cooling coils) ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Water is all
that's necessary.
Hose the crap out of them,
reassemble,
drive
your car and stop
obsessing.

Stop Obsessing ?, I'm not obsessing I'm looking for a way to clean my radiators and you don't have a clue, so you make a derogatory comment ? Your a Jackass !

Water is fine, don't have the pressure to high or you can fold over the aluminum.....definitely do not use a pressure washer.
I have used a few cans of brake cleaner when needed and compressed air ......but typically a hose works best.

Also make sure you separate the condenser from the radiator to get anything in between......just unbolt it and it'll hang by the lines....

I don't think he was being derogatory at all. He made a friendly comment after telling you to wash out the rads. If you want help in the future you can't go around insulting people that take the time to respond.

The use of water is fine and, as mentioned, remove the a/c rad from the cooling rad to clean in between. Look what I found between my rads in the Boxster.

Quit obsessing and use a high concentrate cleaner
Like 409 or Fantastic
after water flushing then
Flush again
