Snoozin Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 So a while ago, myself and a bunch of OS folk hired a steam cleaner and we spent a day cleaning oily engine bays, with pretty decent results! I'm keen to do something similar again if anyone is keen - usually the cost is around $130 for a day to hire a steam cleaner, and I guess the more people on board the better! Would need an area to do it, my driveway is a bit cramped but a paddock or gravel or concreted area is fine and dandy. Register interest, and if sufficient I'll look at a mid-August date pending availability of a place to go about business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Should go to a truck workshop and offer to buy the service boys 4x doz or something and a bit of diesel for the cleaner to use their wash bay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Good plan! Wonder if health and safety concerns will dissuade guys from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenTC Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Keen. I think the Triumph could do with some steaming. Triumps tend to do their own steaming. Money saved $$$, profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 If you are going to own a car then a steam cleaner is a great investment for cleaning it. Small Karcher spec ones wont last for ever but they are fuking magic, mine was under $500. Nothing does interiors better than steam cleaning and microfibre cloths.

Hemi Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Think they mean a hot wash water blaster Diddy. They are the shit, to bad people are nubs and don't know how to look after them so they shit themselves all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yea man I assumed they mean a big ass hot water blaster thing. A regular steam cleaner will work the same magic on a engine bay with way more work but also more finesse, seen them work magic on real dirty baked on car exteriors (like barn find shit). Steam cleaners are the car retailers magic tool of choice after a good DA polisher. Anyway just some OT ramblings, carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Ah, gotcha picking up what your saying now. That sounds painfully slow. Would work well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 So a while ago, myself and a bunch of OS folk hired a steam cleaner and we spent a day cleaning oily engine bays, with pretty decent results! Was that the time we cleaned our shit on Chris and Tara's lawn? That was a good day. I cleaned my junk. Ling-ling had his AE86. We loled. ▽ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little steam cleaners are choice, but not up to 30 year old grease and sludge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
