They have a USA site as well.
Nope....not for Boxster radiators. That flex hose shown on your website would be pushing a rope compared to 20" or so of rigid 1/2" copper. There's a plastic nozzle on it that is slightly larger to prevent copper from touching metal radiators.
Coincidentally the day you wrote your entry here I just the thing to clean my radiators.

Oh....and mine was made of stuff lying around here...Price=free.

99 Boxster rad fin cleaning

It just stared to overheat a bit. I pulled the front bumper and it was ugly! ABout have the AC condenser was covered. When I carefully removed the AC condenser - on the p-ass. side - about half of the rad was covered in debris. The driver's side had a squirrel nest built in front of both of them - the AC condenser - stored the nuts and fluff. THe area between the two was just packed. I vacuumed then I sprayed a cleaner on them and hosed them off using the garden hose. Now they are drying and then I'll put it all back together. ANy ideas on placing plastic bug screening in front of the fins?
