The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Sorry for repeated question but what to use when flushing cooling system out?

I've used Dawn detergent, Simple Green, vinegar, TSP, back-flushing and every other thing suggested.

they all seem to help purge the rust a little.

but NOTHING has ever cleaned a clogged radiator for me except taking it to a shop for a professional cleaning.

"your results may vary"
