I'd like to know preferences to remove the bugs from the radiator...I can pick the "chunks" out...but I'd like to remove all the little critters, small children, and occasional pedestrians that have wedged their way into the radiator nooks and crannies...

Thanks in advance!SO

Just use a pressure washer. That way if the pedestrians are alive, you will drown them or sting them with high pressure water. Pedestrians are allergic to water.

Both.

Soap it down good from both sides. High-pressure water (shoot from the INSIDE out), and then air hose as well.

Always try to clean radiator from the back side... Much easier if you just take it out of the car.
