Steam cleaning :)

Post by Envoy CDX »

Well, I bought a steam cleaner from a motor factor like place in Darlington a few weeks back and shoved it in the boot forgetting all about it (£8.99 or something like that - couldn't miss it really)

Anyhow, using the said steam cleaner and some Gunk + Autoglym interior shampoo, I hope to transform the engine bay in my Cav, I will be posting before and after pictures, although not sure about during as I don't want to get steam in the camera :mrgreen:

So, I wonder what the results will be like :)

I actually have my Turbo booked in for an underside and engine steam clean on Friday. I had tooo book it about 3 weeks ago. I didnt realise how cheap they were definatly a good thing to have you can probably do the doortrims carpets seats and rooflining as well.

No good for engines this one unfortunatly - I think I need something with a bit more poke! But it sure cleans kitchen tiles well ;) :lol:
