What's the best way to clean this

What's the best way to clean this 2 days ago I was driving through a construction zone and it was a lot worse than I thought but it was a one way so I had to keep going then I hit a huge dip and my car turned into a shovel and scoop load of gravel into the lower grill and broke my front lip.

Safest and cleanest way is to remove the bumper. Using compressed air might cause other scratches, etc. Another option might be a shop vac with a long thin extension so you can go down in front of the radiator to the inner shelf on the bumper. I’d personally remove the bumper.

The laziest way is to use one of those lint cleaner attachments for your dryer and use a vacuum to suck as much as you can out lol. It only works if your vacuum is strong, and this may still leave the big pieces behind.

Take the oil cooler plastic skid plate off, remove the 3 bolts holding the oil cooler in and dump it out. Way less time than fiddling with a vacuum extension.
