i have seen people use cling film mate just make sure you leave a gap for air to get to the rad as my mate covered the whole front and the temp went right up why dont you just clean it when you get there instead saves all the pi$$ing about.

baby wipes work well at removing dead flies .. just wash with water afterwards
