I was giving the car a going over today, dug the leaves out of the air box, changed the filter etc. and am puzzling over how to clean out the intercooler and possibly radiator. Radiator wasn't so bad - Brushed it with a soft brush and gave the rest a good blast with a can of compressed air.

 

The intercooler is another matter; It looks like every insect I have been near has been sucked into it! I brushed off the worst of it, then vacuumed out the rest (All hail the almighty power of the Dyson!) but I can still see there is dirt packed in between the fins.

 

Does any one have any tips or tricks to clear that out? I've blasted it as much as I can with my compressed air can and I think it's just packing it in more... Is it safe to take a pressure hose to these things or will that just break all the delicate fins? Or damage whatever's underneath?
