Default Keeping your radiator clean

I made a great tool to use for keeping the front of my radiator clean on my 94. I bought a VERY SOFT bristle right angle brush and taped it to the end of a yardstick. To brush off the front side of the radiator, I insert the tool in the small rectangular hole on the passenger side of the shroud that covers the condensor and the radiator. You can reach almost the entire surface of the radiator using up and down, side to side motions. Check it after cleaning by shining a flashlight into the hole. I do this once a week to get all the bugs etc off the radiator. I also use a shorter version to clean the condensor from under the front of the car. It works.
