DIY: How to clean radiator/condenser area
Any advice on how to clean the radiator/condenser area inside the front grille? As you can see below mine is full of leaves and other debris.
The owner’s manual says:Radiator, condenser and intercooler radiator (if equipped)
Check the radiator, condenser and intercooler radiator and clear away any foreign objects.
If any of the above parts are extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condition, have your vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

I use a long grabber tool to pull all that stuff out there and on the side coolers. Not sure what it's called, but it's long and flexible and has like a plunger on one end and 3 or 4 little fingers on the other end that can grab stuff. Looks kinda like a tiny version of that claw machine at arcades that never work. Can be used to grab dropped nuts & bolts in tight spaces.

That's it. Only other option is to pull the bumper and pick that stuff out with your fingers or tweezers. Pressure washer just pushes it deeper so not a failsafe option either.
