    Cleaning radiator?

    Is it safe to jet wash or hose down the radiator?

    If using a jet wash stand well back, it can be difficult to monitor before you begin to bend the fins. Using a hose you probably won't dislodge big items. I prefer to use compressed air with one of those attachments for blowing away dust. You can regulate the pressure and distance easily.

      Soft brush will be fine. I am assuming you are refering to the Aux rad?
