I have mud coated on my radiator and can not get it all out. (I have been spraying the radiator with the hose and can not get all of the mud out.) Do you guys have any suggestions for getting the mud out? Any tools or places do this?

Remove the shroud over the radiator and spray good. If it still can't get clean enouph you will have to remove the radiator to clean it.

Did you try spraying the water from the back of the radiator forwards? This certainly helped me. Also, try removing the rubber trim strip from the top/front of the radiator to see if any dirt has built up between the A/C coils and the radiator.

Thanks,

Remove the grill on the front of the car if the mud is upfront, this will give you access to a lot of parts and allow you to stick a brush to clean up the mud. If the mud is on the back, remove the Fan Clutch since the fan is attached you'll have plenty of room to clean up the radiator this way!!
