Hello all,
I am posting on forum after long time because due to some reason I wasen't having internet access.
Recent days I am seeing Steam wash is becomming popular. I got some questions regarding it.
[1] Is it safe on automobile paint?
[2] Will it melt coat of wax on paint?
[3] Can we use it regularly as a conventional wash?

[1] NOOOOOOOOOOO!
[2] Probably not melt, maybe thought. But cause it to warp off the surface when you wipe the surface.
[3]NO WAY!

Haha, steam wash is great to break down dirt like on wheels and tires, but you never wipe over it. Its not lubricated at all, it will marr and scratch the paint. Your far better off using a waterless wash, which is a spray wash that is highly lubricated.

You can try using the stream as a rinse, then spray some waterless wash (DP Waterless Wash), and wipe with the waterless wash then its fine. But steam isnt worth it. Unless you use it in places like engine bay, then its really good to use.
