Even after a generic radiator flush, this stuff will remove hard scale and crap from every nook and cranny in the cooling system without damaging metal or seal material.

Try Mercedes Benz Huntingwood, think they have it there. won't be cheap but in context to actually having to remove a radiator, well
worth it. Matter of fact, I might look at a special buy on it being the Benz distributor over here

Or citric acid from local supermarket/catering supply.

Or coffee machine flush.

That air method .... When I said "a burst of air" ... I mean about 1/4 of a second

It's usually best done with a compressor that has a air Tap .... if you have the standard Female coupling ... Hold the retaining ring "open" with 1 hand as you insert the hose with other hand .... Don't let go of the retaining ring ...


Andrew's product sounds OK tho
