Default Radiator Flush

Hi, what strong radiator flush would people recommend ?

There’s some deposits within the fins and I’d like to try a thorough clean before considering replacement.

Central Heating Descaler:~

The central heating descaler is good and far better than the branded items sold.
(Central heating descaler is fine for mixed metals)

Drain the system and add the above diluted (ratio mix is on the bottles)
Bring the engine up to temperature and leave as long as you can- drain and then flush with clean water- drain again then fill with the correct strength of antifreeze & water mix.

The product goes a long way, available from plumbers merchants or online sites. Used the product for many years on my 240/V70/Riley
Trust it helps.
