Default Cleaning intercooler

Hi guys. I have an intercooler that really could do with a bit of a clean. I don't want to take it off though...any thoughts?
Cheers,
Andy

You could clean it with some degreaser or some APC. Spray it on, let it dwell for a while, agitate the fins with a small brush (if you're feeling hardworking) but be careful not to bend the fins as they are REALLY soft.

How dirty is it?

Just be very careful when using a brush or the like on/near the fins as they bend very easily.
