Welcome to site.
To clear the coolant, it needs patience, and lots and lots of flushing. Like every day for 2 or 3 weeks!
I small amount of degreaser may help, as will ,believe it or not, a small amount of screenwash.
Beware, some of the rubber pipes will have softened, and may fail in a few weeks...

If it's really clogged there have been a few people who have had success by using a serious amount of degreaser in the cooling system.

To clean coolant, pour it in a large bucket with a lot of denatured alcohol. Stir until the aclohol removes the grime. Then get rid of the alcohol with a match. (That's why you need a lot of alcohol.) Clean and ready to use coolant!#
