Cleaning leaves out of radiator

Hi anyone got any good tips on how to remove leaves from the radiator grills in the front bumper of a 2014 F10 M5. I have managed to clear some of them but there are a few stubborn ones and as they are dry they are also brittle. Is they an after market grill mesh out there to trap leaves before going through the grills.

Blower! Got one off amazon. Useful for drying annoying gap/parts you think are actually dry too!

I use a bamboo BBQ skewer (carefully). They are long enough to go through the plastic grilles and you can catch the leaves and move them forward and pull them out through the grill mesh. They cost next to nothing and I keep one in the garage for getting at leaves both here and in the windscreen gullies.

Leaf removal

I use reptile feeding tweezers.

Yes, honest, type it in to amazon and check you order long enough ones, cant remember the size I got, but you will get the idea. Get them for under a tenner.
