Anyone have any pro tips regarding getting leaves out of the radiators. I feel like I need tweezers that are about a foot long to get behind the hexagon grills and just pull them out.

Got about 6 back there since the fall. :

This is a old problem I had with my C4S. It sat so low and sucked up everything in its front and Porsche didn’t think about this and made access a nightmare. Mods to solve this for performance cars are put a fine mesh screening behind the factory plastic screen. This has its own issues and not what I did I.

Here is what I did: I use a powerful Shopvac with a 2’ extended flexible hose that I taped on one of the Shopvac extension hoses. I bought the flexible hose at Lowe’s from the plumbing dept. Get a clear one. This system has worked for 10 years now and I suck out butts, leaves, trash, etc... and I only drive in nice weather away from the cities with the 911. I expect the M2C to be worse with its even larger air intakes.
This mod has gone viral and a lot of people use it. So much easier than taking your front end apart to do yearly cleaning.

This is actually one of the best recommendations for this that I've run across. I'm going to give this a try when it warms up.

I have a couple cigarette butts in there because c**ts in front of me drop them out of their window.

I keep a pair of disposable bamboo chopsticks and double-sided 3M tape in my detail cart for this exact purpose.

Also helps to have a very steady hand, lol.

Not even kidding.

I will need to try this, lol.

M2C is all radiator.

FYI, just make sure the hose you get will fit through the lower screening.

It's great that you've diversified from just the car.

Joking aside. Great idea!

I like the shop vac idea.

Using long aquarium scissor style tweezers works well. Picked this tip up a few years ago on these forums.

You can try blowing them out but that may just push them deeper in the holes.

LOL I was thinking the same thing when I read it.

All this talk about sucking, blowing, butts, holes and pushing, but no one has mentioned the pull out method.

I'll be investigating the pull out method when my flexible grabber arrives. My condo garage doesn't have power for the suck method, unfortunately.
