Re: Removal of leaves

get a pair of food court wooden chop sticks and tape it together at both ends to create a longer stick. wrap double sided tape on the tip of one end of the stick and poke through the gauze before the radiator and the leaves will be stuck to the tip. Pull them out one by one.

i just use a hose to spray at the radiator, most of the time they will come out....

i wash the car every week so the leaves will come out pretty easy

the leaves do fall off from the radiator area but does it actually get collected somehwere at the bottom? i.e, does it get flushed out from the car? Does not look like there are any outles below.

Terry will love to bring you home. Haha.

Anyways, back to the topic.

I wash my car everyday... Simply use hose and spray them out. Not a problem. Some might get stuck at the grill... Den like what tatsit said... Use fingers lor.

hi bro
the way i do it is whenever i go to workshop , they have this air pressured jet that they use to jet blow the engine surface when they finished the car service or they use it to jet blow the air filter.
use it to jet blow where the leaves were. it will goes off.
