I know what Blue is referring to but I think Ward went a little hard on the Beav, after all ANY debris removed is better than none removed. I have carefully vacuumed my own self and unless one is careless it's fine to do.

Made a special tool out of steel brake line and an air gun. Blows all the debris out and unless you ram it on there, I don't contact the radiators. Found cigarette butts, large diameter rocks, feathers, gum...craziness!

OK now I'm curious, where does said device blow the debris to? As far I remember there is no way to access the bumper cover from the rear to blow the gunk forward and out. Blue is spot on, without question, there is no substitute for removing the bumper cover and cleaning it.
