It's an ok idea for in between maintenance, but removing the bumper is the only way to get it completely clean IMO.

By sticking the tool all the way to the back it blows everything back out the front. I assure you its as clean as removing the bumper.

LOL, It's definitely not.

The amount of crud that collects between the radiator and A/C condenser is significant. I can't see getting that out without disassembly.

Okay okay haha maybe not as clean but it helps me sleep at night! loll these bumpers swallow everything!!

About 90% of the flotsam that clogs the radiators can be found crammed between the A/C condenser and the Rads. You can't see it and you can't clean it out until you drop the nose and separate the two. Then and only then will you understand the full effect of this magnificent crap collecting device called a Boxster.
