Keeping ZL1 front coolers clean

How are you guys keeping the front coolers clean looking from bugs and debris? Long handle detail brush?

After straightening the intercooler fins on my Evo the second time I put a fairly open screen mesh behind the front grill. I am sure it disrupted the amount of airflow a bit, but nowhere near as badly as the bent over fins did! The rocks/bugs/crap from the road were just beating it senseless...

A lot of guys on other sites use plastic black gutter guard from Lowe's… It's virtually invisible once on the car, and is easy to put on with black zip ties . Does not interfere with airflow, catches big bugs.

When I washed my car the other day, I found a cigarette butt in the area behind the front grill and the radiator.

If you look close, there's another radiator lying horizontally in that same area. Going to have to pay close attention to leaves and debris collecting in that spot. Fortunately, the grill openings are large enough to get a vacuum attachment in there if necessary.
