I have good results with vinegar and water.Is it advisable to rinse the inside of the radiator out with tap water while removed or is there some kind of solution that can be added?
I used the garden hose sprayer. Any more than that I’d be worried about damaging the fins.Hi friends,
If anyone uses the "Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 Max PSI" or similar pressured washer, which spray tip angle (at the minimum) is safe for not damaging the fins? (The provided ones are 0, 15deg, 25deg and 40deg).
Garden hose is safest for sure.
I've removed a Radiator and set on curb. Then power washer with ~1,800 to 2,500PSI Fins do fine as long as spray dead on straight. If sprays say at 45-degree angle to fins. The fins get some minor defection (bend). But upon closer inspection. The find defection, is so minor, the air flow is not restricted.
^^^^Although it is hands-down the best to remove to clean. I'm not recommending everyone pull their radiators to clean.
Just keeping clean, even with just a garden hose without removing it. Is so very important, and effective enough in most cases. The trick is to keep at it. Especially after driving through anything that clogged fins. i.e. grasses, cottonwood, mud, dirt roads, bug storm, flood waters, etc.
