Radiator Cleaning

Warning: NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.

Caution: The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to the fins, reducing heat transfer.


Note:  Remove bugs, leaves, dirt and other debris by blowing compressed air through the engine side of the radiator.
•  Some conditions may require the use of warm water and a mild detergent.
•  Clean the A/C condenser fins.
•  Clean between the A/C condenser and radiator.
•  Clean the radiator cooling fins.
•  Straighten any damaged cooling fins.
