- You can use compressed air, high pressure water or steam to remove dust and other debris from the radiator core. However, the use of compressed air is preferred.
Note: Care must be taken when you are using high pressure water. High pressure water can cause damage to the radiator. Using a water spray nozzle on the pressure washer which will disperse the water pressure is preferred.
