Is there any ways to clean up the rad?

Appreciate your feedback and advices... Thanks
Interior of a rad is copper, not steel, so it is not rust. It's tarnished as a result of oxidation which is natural for all rads (or even those copper heatsinks) after a period of use.

Don't have to bother about it as it won't hurt your loop at all.
