Auto radiator is an important component in the engine cooling system. Mainly auto radiator is made of two materials, aluminum and cuprum. Aluminum radiator is mainly used by cars while cuprum radiator is used by substantial passenger vehicles. Therefore, for almost every car driver, cleaning your aluminum radiator before the summer is your required course to avoid high temperature in your car. Here comes the question, can you clean your auto radiator by yourself? Follow these procedures, and you will find it easy to do so:

First, take down the grille. Cleaning the auto radiator is not so difficult, it is easy to operate. When you are repairing your car or washing your car in stores, you can ask the worker to help you take down the grille or do it yourself. The reason why taking down the grille is the first step is that auto radiator is installed in the inner of the front grille. Because there are different motorcycle types, several motorcycle types may only expose a part of the auto radiator instead of the whole radiator. Don't worry; it just takes a little more time to finish the work.

Second, clean auto radiator by air pump. If you find there are big sundries such as leaves and branches in your aluminum radiator, you can clean those sundries by your hands before you using air pump. If there are not, you can use air pump directly. Clean auto radiator from the inside of the cabin to the outside by air pump if possible, and in this way those tiny sundries can be blew to the outside of the cabin. Of course, there are different motorcycle types, so if air pump can't be stretched into the inside of the cabin, beginning the cleaning from the outside is OK.

Third, clean auto radiator by water. Actually, the whole cleaning process is basically finished by the two steps above. In general, cleaning the auto radiator by water is not a so good way as you heard. Not only because that the air pump is enough to do the clean, but also because that the pressure of hydraulic giant is so strong that may deflect the cooling fins. However, there are many car owners who think that their car is not cleaned completely if with no water. If you are one of them, make your hydraulic giant directed at racing auto radiators when you clean it using water to avoid deflecting the cooling fins.

To sum up, cleaning your auto radiator can give you a cool summer. Thus, it is high time you followed these steps to clean the auto radiator by yourself.
