take it to the radiator shop and get it dissassembled and flushed and/or rodded etc and you may have to pay a few bux but it will be done properly. Then think about all the gunk in there is also in your cars block so " what are you gonna do about that pilgrim" [sorry, John Wayne stuff]

I have used the stuff sold on TM from Roy King but I can't find his listings. Try 0800 46 33 46 It gave a fantastic result. Am going to use the coolant now. Read the references, I believe them and have no link to him.

Take off the top and bottom hoses and clamp the garden hoes into the bottom hose and turn it on this forces water back up thru the tubes as it normally flows down thru the radiator tubes known as reverse flushing and watch how much crap comes out when you 1st turn the hose onleave water on until it runs clean then take off a heater hose to flush block and heater.

what symptoms are you trying to fix!
I use a product from a radiator shop called RMI25. I does and awesome job, but nothing can do as good as removing your radiator and getting it done properly.
There you go - never used it but it sounds interesting.

Hope you do something quickly about it and properly, depending on the vehicle you could be risking a stuffed engine.
