Now I wish I'd tried that. I blew it out with an air compressor, ran it under hot water for a bit, then blew it out again to try to quickly remove water. It's drying near a window now. It looked decently clean, but I'll leave the final judgement for when it dries.

Eeerruuummm.. Year-ish? I'm honestly not sure at all. I'm REALLY lazy sometimes. :p
I only brought it down because the WC pump was starting to throw a tantrum.

the absolute best way to clean a RAD is to use hot water and sugar soap you wont need to scrub just dip it a few times and blow out the excess water takes all of 5 minutes and your done and the rad will look like it's brand new again

I was kind of thinking that. I wished I had a tub of hot soapy water that I could dunk the rad in. Sugar soap though? Looked it up on Google, seems like a somewhat common item, but I don't think I've seen it before. Pretty common in stores?

"you're supposed to blow these things out?"
No, you're just supposed to let it sit and age, like a fine wine. :laugh:

United Kingdom[edit]
The precise ingredients and their proportions (and consequentially what hazards, if any, are associated) vary between manufacturers and suppliers but are now generally found listed in the Material Safety Data Sheets found on manufacturers' and suppliers' web sites. The alkali component is normally sodium carbonate or less commonly sodium hydroxide at a concentration of a few percent and an organic solvent and an abrasive agent are normally the other functional ingredients, as well as coloring and water. Many brands of sugar soap are freely available for domestic use in the UK, being commonly sold for preparing surfaces for redecoration, stripping certain types of wallpaper, removing accumulations of grease in kitchens or removal of tar deposits caused by tobacco-smoking; products are supplied in powder to be diluted before use or liquid form to be brushed or sprayed.

United States[edit]
The comparable cleaning product in the USA is trisodium phosphate, also known as "TSP". However, due to environmental concerns about the impact of phosphorus on lakes and streams, products labeled TSP may not actually contain any trisodium phosphate.

"Sugar Soap" in the USA is generally a cosmetic product. If sugar is actually used in the product it helps the natural soap to generate more lather.[1]

France[edit]
A comparable product in France is sold under the brand name St Marc. It is branded by Reckitt Benckiser and its formula is a derivative of a resin soap made from terpene. The ingredients listed in the safety data sheet [1] include >30% sodium carbonate.

Oh, that's a pretty common alkali and safe to boot. You can buy it as washing soda or cleaning soda for cheap, but you can make it yourself for cheaper. Bake NaHCO3(Baking soda) at 400F, mixing occasionally, until the baking soda becomes slightly whiter, more powdery, and less clumpy. You will now have Na2CO3, more commonly known as washing soda. Carbon dioxide and steam are released in this reaction, heat is the catalyst.
Personally, I've had great success using sodium carbonate in a 1:16 solution with water as an electrolyte solution for electrolysis.

Huh. Now to bring it full circle, sodium carbonate in water would work as a metal/enamel paint/general purpose cleaner? Does it leave any residue? Wondering if I'd have to plug the bungs on the radiator.

Aslong as you rinse it off under the hot water tap there's no residue left I clean all my heatsinks from my Thermolab Baram to my GPU heatsink this way and brings them up looking like new again

I modified the page you posted to insert Canada also for TSP.

for those water blocks that are complete write offs try flushing with toilet bowl cleaner + a few table spoons of water for 30 seconds followed by a through rinse with a gallon of hotwater with 1/4 of baking soda in it
guaranteed to remove the most vile of build up even rust
*note most toilet bowl cleaner contains hydrochloric acid prolonged exposure will destory any plating no more then 30 seconds maximum and rise quickly

Better name a brand when you talk about toilet cleaner as last time i used it on plastics it started to melt it which formed a some what poisonous gas cloud

I use "the works" and yes it will destroy some plastic's and or rubber if used at 100% strength
its why I said work very quickly and use the baking soda and water
