If you decide to use compressed air, limit it to a maximum of 10-15 p.s.i.
How do you get them then? That's troubling. I've noticed in the last couple summers that when sitting in traffic with the A/C on mine creeps up close to the 212F mark - so I then turn it off. Going 85 MPH with the AC on it's around 200-205F. I don't remember it getting that hot in summer 2018, and this summer seems a bit worse than 2019. Around town though, 35 MPH, it's a comfy 185F. 65 MPH is 190-195. I'm thinking I should start looking for a spare radiator in case mine goes....
