I filled with truck wash solution and left it for 3 weeks then flushed with hose the result was amazing. Just another option to consider.


Yeah, Supercheap auto budget degreaser works great too, especially if it's got lots of silty mud or oily residue

Natrad are way overpriced I found, search out a smaller radiator shop. I use Blacktown radiators, he's an old Korean that knows his stuff.


If he used to work behind a service station in Fairfield Road, Fairfield, he is brilliant.
I wondered where he went.

Have a look at "coolfilter", it's a radiator filter that will slow or stop your radiator blocking after cleaning. It only catches what will block the tubes.

I've just filled a late Clubby radiator with Supercrap's bulk degreaser 2:1 water mix. I will leave it 3 days then flush it and see... :)

Well I filled it at 6am this morning, but it was so hot here that it partly evaporated during the day. So I flushed it out at 6pm for a look.
All the brown crud in top tank and pipes has gone, I'll repeat the exercise tomorrow and see if more comes out.
I can't see the cores properly because of the big pipe inside the top tank. But those I can see look clean.
