the color on his car is not one I've seen before, it's not the typical Ivory, it's got a more vanilla hue. the car REALLY stands out!

I've cleaned it with a little water in the past, but it doesn't look nearly as nice as yours.

In NM, I DEFINITELY recommend this treatment! and verify your aux fan works, and make sure you have good fresh charge of R12 like I put in his car!
My process for cleaning the two radiators, (a/c and Coolant) were first to pull the aux fan, and the right side bar, then drain the coolant, and disconnect the transmission cooler. I set the radiator next to a tree, and soaked it in a non acid coil cleaning bath, then sprayed the same chemical on the condenser. both foamed up nicely, and after it pushed all the dirt off the coils, I rinsed with a good solid amount of water. I then pulled the block drain, and flushed the cooling system with the hose, through the heater core, then I blew out the heater core with compressed air, and when the block stopped spitting water, I put the plug back in and flushed and back flushed the coolant passages of the radiator. reassembled everything and filled with a nice mix of Zerex G05 and distilled water.
