(TFR) Traffic film remover

mix up solution 1/2 an 1/2 spray on intercooler leave for 5 mins,gently jet wash off..
or go to a car valeting company,they should have this,there are 2 types 1 yellow 1 pink,go with pink as much better product,my husband uses this for work..

Be VERY careful using high pressure near a FMIC, it can bend the fins BADLY in my experience......TFR is quite good, though air conditioner cleaner is also well suited to the job......

Agree,would also do the job,but on my hubbys pressure washer at work,turning the nozzle you get a fine spray,so protecting the fins..

Both R222 Total Auto Wash and Meguiars Super Degreaser (cut 4:1) also do a great job in this respect, and have a multitude of other good uses too (such as wheel arch cleaning, general engine bay cleaning, etc). Links here for more information...
