safe heat exchanger cleaning

Well I apparently suck at the search feature so I guess I will have to bug everyone and ask. What is a safe way to clean the heat exchanger on the front of the SS/SC? I have some bugs stuck in there I want to get rid of but I don't want to bend any fins. Thanks!

That isnt the heat exchanger in the front that is actually your ac condensor. The HE is inbetween the ac condensor and the radiator. Just you a garden hose with low pressure and spray it from staight on and not at a angle and youl be fine.

I use an air compressor with a strong, but not to strong blow valve gets the bugs out, keeps the car dry, and best of all does not bend any cooling fins on the condensor.

do it when the engine is cold...not hot...you don't want rapid cooling from a hose to damage anything...
