How to Clean a Car Radiator Thoroughly?
1 Answers
Methods for cleaning a car radiator are as follows: 1. Scale in the car radiator can be removed using a radiator cleaner. Ordinary cleaning agents cannot completely eliminate scale and acidic substances inside the water channels. It is advisable to choose a high-quality, powerful cleaning agent, which turns the scale into a powdery suspension in the coolant, preventing blockage of the engine's water channels. 2. Manual cleaning. This requires removing the car radiator and manually using tools like hammers, scrapers, and shovels to remove the scale. This method is inefficient, labor-intensive, often fails to clean thoroughly, and may cause secondary damage to the radiator. 3. Ordinary scale cleaning agents. These require dismantling the radiator, often resulting in incomplete cleaning, strong odors, and high corrosiveness, which can lead to radiator aging and a shortened lifespan. 4. Professional car radiator descaler. No dismantling is needed. Simply pour the specialized scale cleaning agent directly into the car's water circulation system, let it soak, idle cycle, or drive for 20-30 minutes, then drain the descaler from the radiator and system, and rinse repeatedly with water until clean.
