radiator cleaning @ carwash? 200 1983

Hi all,

I've read a couple posts about cleaning the radiator out at a carwash if it is grimy.....

I want to try it, but i need some pointers since I've never done that before.

Specific Questions: Do you hose it down from the front or back of the radiator? Do you need to remove the radiator to do it, or can it be done "in car"....... Also, I"m assuming I'd want to take off the grille before trying this, is that right?

Right now it's running a little bit warmer than usual (it's slightly above the nine o'clock mark, barely, but enough so that I notice it).

Just want to make sure I don't do anything to screw up the radiator.

Thanks for any input,

Susan.
