Re: Cleaning radiator exterior?Be very careful using a pressure washer on radiator fins. I have seen them bend from this. If there is a HVAC guy on the list I bet that he could tell us what sort of spray is used to clean condensers and evaporators.........

There are lots of birds around my house and they enjoy the buffet-style meals the radiator gives them! My plastic grill got destroyed in a wreak, so they have easy access to all the insect delicacies! My radiator has been picked dry! A high-power water sprayer would probably do the trick too, but I'm sure birds would be sad to see such fine food being washed away.

I cleaned off those sticking to the front, but shouldn't I be able to see through the radiator cooling fins? Anyone have suggestions for cleaning/removing the embedded bugs for better air flow?
