E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted May 13, 2021 The ingress of bugs and dirt through the grilles is a real pain and very visible, to get rid of them I use a water blaster on medium pressure, and carefully aim at the bugs (from an angle to knock them off) and dirtiest bits. Possibly not the best practice for the radiator longevity, but works well in terms of results versus effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balancerider 758 Report post Posted May 14, 2021 Thanks Jon - wondered about combining a thin brush to get them off the radiator and then waterblast out the bottom - even a very thin vacuum extension struggles to get through the gap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
