Radiator cleaning external
I have read threads about cleaning the bugs from the radiator. Is there a good solution to spray on the radiator to help soften them up? Should you just use the air pressure from the back like BRP states in the owner's manual? Buy solution I was thinking like a dawn or simple green are these products safe for the radiator and the Tupperware
Thanks for all that reply.

You can spray the buggy radiators gently from the front with a hose to soften them up and then again from the rear to wash them out of the fins. Once you've done that, invest in a a set of Spyderpops KOTT (Keep Out The Trash) Grilles, https://spyderpops.com/2014-2019-can...els-2014-2019/, and you will soon thereafter be amazed at how many bugs you DON'T have to wash out of the radiators.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

You can put a wet towel up against the front of the grill and lean something against it to hold it against the grill. It will soften all the bugs in about 15 minutes. Then you can just brush them off with a soft bristle paint brush. Might use a little liquid dish soap on the paint brush, but just plain water works well. The trick is to keep them wet for 10 or 15 minutes to soften them up. You don't need to spray high pressure water.

Good old hydrogen peroxide works well for softening the bugs. Buy a small spray bottle, put the HP in it and go to work. It helps soften the little critters and will do no harm to paint.

Be SUPER careful with Simple Green. It will cause bare aluminum to corrode and very quickly too.
