Default Removing debris behind grill

In a couple of weeks Lola will have a year of great miles and adventure behind her and some of it has been scooped up behind the grill and in front of the A/C condenser. When you look in it's full of bugs and gravel and leave particles. Has anyone figured out an easy way to remove the lower panel w/o a lift to get in to clean the debris? I'm happy the grill openings is small enough to keep large stones out but it also keeps out any vacuum apparatus I can find.

It's something all of us will have to deal with in time.

What I have been using is compressed air with an air gun with a fairly long skinny nozzle. I blow the air from both sides of the radiator/condenser and it's always surprising how much stuff comes out. Then I flush it with water.

Thanks, I have a compressor I can hook my air gun up to. Would sure like to blow it from the back side to the front tho.
