I take the front bumber off once in while and clean it up close and personal. It's not that much of a big deal for me.

Dont use a pressure wasjer it will bend the fins. You should see my stock IC from the HWY miles I puit on it. Bent fins from road rocks, bugs, etc..that's why I'm going to get a bar and plate IC next...the Tube and Fin design is prone to being damaged by debris and the Bar abd Plate is a much better IC all around...get some wooden skewers from the grocery store,(BBQ wooden sticks to stick meat/veggies on) they will work great for picking bugs out...
