Re-Fit Radiator

Hi all
The kichen saga continues..
The kitchen radiator was long since removed, to give access for wiring
chases etc.
It was moved to the garage probably 4-6 months ago.
Although the inlet/outlet ports were covered, it is likely that some rust
has formed inside the rad.
Due to slow progress and the likelihood of colder weather, I am considering
re-fitting the rad to take the chill off.
This would also allow testing of the new feed piping I am working on for a
kick space heater.
So, is there anything that can be done to "rinse out any rust" from the
radiator before re-fitting?
It is not an old tatty thing - moderish stelrad type bog-standard item.
Thanks
Assuming your cold water pressure is reasonable, connect a hosepipe to
each port (alternately, and several times), and give it a good blasting
until the emerging water is clear?
