    Steam Cleaner recommendatios

    I'm looking for a steam cleaner that can be used to steam clean engine compartments.
    Any ideas on which one to get?
    Thank you!

    For your personal vehicle?

    If not, how many engine details will you be doing per month?

    If it's for a business then a dupray hill injection or a Carmen super inox are great because of the ability to inject detergent at the push of a button. I have a Carmen and it makes quick work of the dirtiest engines. It's dry steam so no run off, just have a bunch of towels to wipe. I use it on almost every detail so it was well worth the cost. I got to say that the Carmen really changed the game for me and my business.

    Yeah, it's for a business.
    My niece and her husband have a detail shop and I wanted to buy them a steam cleaner as a gift, I guess it'll be used often...however, I want something practical and not too fancy since I'm paying for it.

    Those 2 I have mentioned are rather expensive but they are good quality machines. If they have extractors then the hill injection would be more than enough but they also have other models that are great for a whole lot cheaper. I bought the Carmen because I don't have a extractor and didn't want to get one because I don't want to risk the mold in the seats. A cheap one will be ok but like all things you get what you pay for.

    Not sure how many.
    It's a gift for a small shop. I figure it'll be nice to have something available when they need one.

    Steam Cleaner recommendatios

    I had a vapamore primo when I first started. It was a good starting steamer. It's 300 on autogeek if I remember correctly. Now it's used in the house.

    I own a mytee firebird and they are sold here. I've had the same machine for over 2 years and abuse the heck out of the little machine. Best $350 investment for my business. Use it all the time on every detail.
