To clean radiator corrosion, first make sure the radiator is cool. Remove the cap, and place a bucket under the radiator to catch the water. Open the drain cock on the bottom of the radiator. When empty, close the drain cock and pour a coolant flush into the radiator. Top it off with water. Replace radiator cap and run the engine for 10-minutes, with the heater going full blast. Turn the engine off and wait until the engine has cooled off. Drain radiator once more. Then, fill the radiator with a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and water.

Of course! The radiator is designed to hold a mix of water and coolant, but at a pinch just water will do. It's not a good idea to do this for too long though as it can cause corrosion in the radiator and engine.
