When I look through the grill of my 14 Stingray I can see some leaves, small twigs, etc in front of the radiator. There are also the nasty bugs stuck in the fins. It is not bad but does this need to be cleaned out every so often and if it does how can I access it? Thanks.
I don't know on a Stingray, but the Z06 I have let's me access that area with this vacuum attachment as far as getting to the loose debris. It will suck most of the bugs stuck in the radiator as well.
I just wash with the water hose. I'm sure the other methods noted here are better, but I've never seen any evidence of my way not being adequately functional in nearly 5-years.
If it's that important let's just call it a Refrigeration Coil Cleaning Brush since they are not just used for refrigerators but refrigeration equipment in general and you can use it for cleaning both condenser and evaporator coils, AND as I stated works good for hard to get to automotive radiator coils as well.
Since the debris is in front of the radiator, I use an air hose and blow out from behind. You can open the little flapper doors in the shroud.
Then I blow from the front, and finally from the back again.
Takes only a couple of minutes and seems to work well.
I have one of those and very handy for some things, however don't see how it would clean dirt and grime out your radiator coils? A bird or dead animal maybe.
