Radiator Steam Cleaning- Lesson learned
#10

Ok from your resident chemical engineer. Never use caustic based cleaner on an aluminum radiator. Never. You cannot rinse it enough to prevent the caustic from damaging the aluminum.

On brakecleaner. Makes no matter chlorinated or non.

However never ever ever use chorinated brake cleaner to clean a part prior to any kind of electric welding. The arc and the residual chlorine forms phosgene gas. Phosgene gas permanently damages your lungs IF you survive the initial exposure
