The best way to get it clean is with a heated water pressure washer....just make sure to keep the stream inline with the fins or it will push them over causing more problems. That is the way most radiator shops I know of clean out one that is in the condition your describing before putting it in any of their tanks.

You can get a pretty good coil cleaner from Home Depot that foams and helps push the dirt out from between the fins. It comes in a spray can and around here they usually keep it back in around the filters. Before I"d do that though I"d use something like Simple Grean, Grease Gone, etc. Basically use some type of degreaser to start and if needed switch to the foaming stuff if the degreaser doesn"t work.......Good luck.
