richie_stix Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 don't know... something i would be interested in to!
caprinerd Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 you should cover the dizzy electronic ignition system and an alarm system that you may have if you have open carbs eg. side draughts cover the trumpets if your injected and the ecu or any brains for the car are under the bonnet them cover them. give the engine and bay a good covering of tfr or truck wash and then steam it out making sure you get all the little spaces and all corners as if you miss them it`ll look crap and also use a steam pressure wash not a jet wash as the jet wash does clean the crap out but will leave a film in there that will gather the dirt quickly
Chris! Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 We have a steam cleaner and its amazing, makes jet washers look shite

Cheers Kev I steam cleaned my Toyota today, I never cover anything, just be careful where you point it. Ie: don't squirt water down the trumpet or directly onto the dizzy. Don't hold it too close if you have the temp and pressure high as they make wonderful paint strippers
Twinkle Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 when i was 11 i worked at a merc dealers cleaning cars, used the steam cleaner on an astra convertable that was only six months old and took all the paint off back to bare metal under all the wheel arches, guess i should of turned the heat down a bit
