You mean using their soap spray or your own engine cleaner?
I have a set of nozzles for my pressure washer (if I can find them) that
will give me about the same increase in pressure as the car wash.
I'll have to ask the local car wash if he uses the same cleaner in the DIY
as he does in the wheel spray for the automatic car wash lane. I've never
seen brake dust dirty bundtcake wheels turn out any cleaner for simply
spraying on cleaner and and washing it off under light pressure.

How about a DIY car wash bay. I did a quick and dirty cleanup of the top
of my engine before my timing chain replacement a few weeks ago. Worked
pretty well.

I tried that on Gump and Frosch. No real clean. The steam was not hot
enough or under pressure to blast the gunk much. Slow death of oily
residue and heavy glop. Brake cleaner and foamy followed by scrubbing
were much better. Then going after it with steam still did not do much.
Pressure wash with blasting steam would work well, but it would force
into places is should not be.

What about those little hand held steam cleaners that I've seen
advertised on TV? Blasts the crud off tile grout and small kitchen floor
areas etc.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] nice article BUT
Has anyone had experience with these light duty steam cleaners? The
ones I
used in years gone by were very large units heated with kerosene, so I
don't
know how effective a carpet type steam cleaner would be in the engine
compartment.
