Radiator/coolers? How to clean exterior ?

I've always just blown them out with an airline and then a quick spray over with Satin Black.
Not an ideal solution but looks OK. The masking up takes the longest part of the job, then the cleaning up where the masking wasn't quite right.

It would be quite difficult without dirtying the rest of the engine bay.
I'd do as mentioned above and blow it out then I would think a degreaser and soft detailing brush and a garden hose with a normal garden gun on the end so you have some pressure but not enough to do any damage or spray all over the car.
Doing this though i doubt you'll get everywhere it would be time consumming and messy and then you have the fan on the other side but if you just want to clean up what can be seen it's the only way i can think of.
