Default Cleaning out debris behind the front grilles

Anyone have any bright ideas on how to do this?

1. Crevice nozzle on shop vac.

2. Compressed air.

3. Long arm.

I use a powerful "shop vac" with a small diameter nozzle and hose, as needed. It does a good job.

Actually, the debris is in front of the grilles.

I am talking about the debris that actually gets through the grilles and gets lodged into the grates of the Coolings units, especially at the bottom.

following this thread. Did some research on the forum and seems like you would need to remove the bumper.

Maybe take a 15 degree nozzle of a pressure washer and stand back 2-3 feet back from the front bumper/lip? Water stream should be narrow enough and strong enough to clean debris in that grille
