Default Air comb radiator clean

I just used this 24" air comb to clean the radiator and condenser. Got out a fair amount of debris as shown. A lot of dirt and grit. Might not do as good a job as pulling the radiator, but it worked pretty well and I'll like having the air comb in the toolbox.

Save your money and make your own from this. I bought two. One I heated it and bent to 90 degrees then shortened the end. The other I straightened, put a screw in the end and drilled a couple of holes in the side. Works exactly the same as the 32 dollar model..

I modded mine to spray (low pressure) water.

I hit it with the air then switch over to water.

It's as clean as I can get it without pulling it out.
