I took my radiator off to remove my coolant pump. It's dirty but no leaks that I know of. I would rather powerwash it at the drive through inside and out rather than be charged money to have it professionally cleaned. (because I think they boil it, right?) It this effective?

When a radiator is cleaned they actually call it a flush and they use a special solution. A powerwash could damage the unit and make it worthless. My suggestion is to take it a professional. However, is a do it yourself link.

Hi
My first thought was to say go for it. I have a friend that works with automobile engines all the time and is always taking the engine blocks, in or out of the chassis, to the car wash for cleaning. I thought the same might hold true for radiators.
I was going to respond with that and checked out a google search first. Here's the link:

Check out some of the hits. After reading some of them I'd be very careful. From a couple of standpoints. The best thing to do is read some of the tips you can find and then I'd talk to a professional.
Hope that helps.
