It is VERY easy to bend the fins on your radiator, stick house AC unit, etc.
Bending fins is very bad for cooling and make getting it clean in the future even harder. Will make getting it dirtier easy.:E
If you use a high pressure sprayer keep it far enough away from the fins so the spray pressure is similar to using just a garden hose with a sprayer. So it can be done safely with a high pressure sprayer it is just kind of silly to use one and there is much greater chance of causing damage to the fins.
Do use soap, degreasers, simple green extreme, etc., as this is a job for finesse using safe chemical cleaners not brute force of a high pressure sprayer.
