Default Radiator

I was wondering if there was anything you could cycle through the radiator and water passages to help flush and clean the passages? Thought there might be something you could add to the water and run the motor for a bit the flush the water out.

Is the radiator in the car or off ?
YES, there are any number of products/processes for doing what you want, i.e.- cleaning radiator.
If radiator is off the car, I'd take it to a radiator shop and have it professionally cleaned/repaired.
If radiator is in the car, you can add a number of different chemicals/products to do the cleaning. Some will recommend using vinegar , some will recommend other cleaning solutions. You can do the job well , but follow instructions if provided.
Lastly, check past threads for voluminous information of same subject !
