Default Cleaning debris/insects from radiator

I recently took a long summer roadtrip and discovered my the intake
fings of my radiator overstuffed with insect debris. Is there a safe
way to effectively clean the fins without bending or damaging them?
Thanks

1. Spray water from the back side of the radiator.

2. Shoott compressed air from the back side or the radiator.

3. Lighlty brush downward on the front of the radiator to clean off the
larger bugs.

I've got a screen in fornt of my AC Condensor to catch the bugs so they
don't go into the fins.


Good Luck

Use a water hose. Not too much pressure. Shoot it from the back if you
can.
