That is what I have been talking to him about...
Of course that stuff is cheaper if you get a gallon of it..
at a local professional AC parts store....

Be sure to get the one for INSIDE COILS....
there is one for outside AC home conditions which IS MORE CAUSTIC....
inside the evap you do not want to use the more corrosive one...

I have suggested not using a brush since if the fins are bent.... I do not think one will be able to access them with the standard ' fin comb' used by professionals to straighten them.. .due to tight access...

We don't want to make more ( and unfixable ) problems than we started out with... Well, unfixable unless you want to do what DMorrison did... and I sure do not want to do that ... or get anyone else into a position which would make that necessary to fix their car...
