How to clean radiator bugs?

[Totoland Mach]

I've put 2/k miles on my new Mach in the last month and am prepping it for the Kansas City Mustang and Ford show. I've gotten a pretty good bug collection and was wondering what others use to clean the radiator.

Detergent soap or car wash soap?
Brush?

Thanks for any help. The Forums have provided a wealth of information for this new owner!!!!! Great place to learn and laugh.

I cut a piece of aluminium window screen and put it in front of the radiator.... much easier to clean.... :)

I would not recommend this as your normal routine. But, I've been told about another trick...

For the bugs you just can't clean out, you need a big-fat Sharpie, Marks-a-lot, or other permanent marker. You simply put the marker against the dead bug and it soaks up the black.

I have not done this before. But, I'm going to Seattle for the NW Roundup in July. And I might need to hide some bugs before the show.

gives a whole new meaning to "textured appearance" :)
