Wow, some of you have pretty strong opinions. This was not a suggestion for some alternative to cleaning the radiators, in fact I didn't attempt to clean the radiators at all, scrubbing anything against the soft fins is always a bad idea. I just happened to have this hose of the right size lying around, which when attached to the shop vac provides a boat load of suction. Great for getting out the leaves, cigarette butts and loose dirt and gravel which collects in the radiator compartment, at the bottom and around the sides. Hard to imagine that this is pointless given the 5 minutes it took.
