Red Dave, I have used CLR on radiators several times and I have always had good success. The first time I used it was on a 1935 Ford tudor, it cleaned the rad up pretty good and there were no leaks. I was building up an '80 Camero and I got another used rad which I plugged, filled with CLR and let it sit in the sun. That little bit extra heat really got it working, came out real clean. I gave my H a swish with it when I had it torn down. It is quite good on calcium deposits, we use it to clean shower heads, tea kettles, bath tub stains etc. I have not had a problem using it in radiators, but I don't leave it in for two or three days either, usually in hours 4-6, then dump it out and check what it has done, put it back in for a while longer if the need be. I suppose if you are thinking new radiator, you have nothing to lose and you may as well try it. My experience is that I have not destroyed a rad with it and it does clean them very well, I don't think it is more corrosive than vinegar....Mike in Exeter Ontario
