Never heard of Winns. You can't go wrong with Gumout or Gum Cutter (generic gumout gas stations use, made by Berkbile? I think) I used STP? Carb cleaner once and it was useless garbage. I'm on the east coast so maybe we don't have Winns.

While the fan is NOT running the engine will force some of the radiator fluid out the top. When the radiator fan turns on, it will pull the radiator fluid back in. When this happens, it is important to keep filling it up. Otherwise, you'll introduce more bubbles. Trust me on this one. Anyway, you will see bubbles coming out of the top of the radiator if you have bubbles. After the second time the radiator fan turns off, turn off the car and replace the cap. You're done.
Also, make sure you put something under the car to catch some of the excess coolant that gets displaced. You can minimize the amount of spillage by starting with a reasonably warm engine. Make sure you remove the radiator cap only when the car is off.
Now if I could only solve this other weird problem...

while running the car disconnect the sensor wire under the distributer cap on the block the check engine light should come on, the computer will override the idle and it should stay steady ie. normal idle check the comp. for a 6 flash.
