Dead bugs in radiator
I went on a long road trip and now my front bumper and front of the radiator is infested with dead bugs. What is the best way to clean it from the radiator without removing it?

I think your only option at this point is to buy a new car. Seriously though I'd like to second this question because I was literally about post the same question. Damn love bugs in Florida are horrible.

Radiator
Spray on Optimums Heavy Duty Degreaser and allow to dwell and then with a water hose or power washer hose radiator to remove road dirt and grime. To clean off insects and bugs simply spray on Iz einszett Anti-Insekt,, allow to work for 3 minutes then hose off to remove debris. Iz einszett Anti-Insekt contains special cleaners which loosens insects and grime from paintwork, chrome, glass, rubber and plastic gently and safely without harsh chemical solvents. Formula does not contain enzymes, which can irritate skin, is biodegradable, formalin-free, and environmentally safe.

There you go. Get some of that goop and spray it on and let those chemicals eat up them buggies. If you still have bug crap in there, you'll have to get a radiator brush that won't damage the fins and carefully brush the crap out.

I live in SW Florida and the G has been plastered with love bugs a lot. All I do is use a hose to wash the bugs off the A/C coils. I also make sure the love bugs are removed from the car's paint within 24 hours.

I usually brush (i.e. DI Brushes Carpet Scrub Brush) the radiator with light pressure to remove a good percentage of the bugs. After that use a light degreaser like the Einszett 1Z Anti-Insekt Bug + Tar Remover or the Poorboy's World Bug Squash on it and agitate it again with a brush or a light mist from a hose.
