How to clean a radiator

^^ Yup, cheapest and easiest thing I've found as well. Simple green is amazing stuff yet it's not acid based like some cleaners, thank goodness.

I love to spray it on and let it cook in, it'll break down oils and grime and you'll find that just from driving in the rain afterwards, they'll be melted away.
Works great on frame, axles, fuel tanks, radiator, etc

 

Amen to that!

Talking hand cleaner, I found a weird one that does grease, oil, etc. very well that you'd never suspect as being good for that.... "Softsoap" it's called....

Looks like stuff geared more for women but it's cheap and works amazingly well! Plus it doesn't dry the hands after repeated use. Anyhow, thought I'd share that recent discovery, lol.

 

Yup softsoap is really good. So is that powdered green stuff. I hate anything with too much grit or acid in it. Absolutely destroys my hands.

Back to the topic, I'm going to clean my rad this weekend and am going to try simple green. Wish me luck.

 

Just to make sure I understand correctly... you can just spray it on and leave it till it rains?

 

They sell an acid for condenser cleaning. Here's a great vid. Just spray it in. Let it sit, and rinse out. Don't power wash, just gentle rinsing.

 

I'm laughing so hard it's difficult to type. You're awesome.
