Beware the purple stuff! It's strong and will stain or discolor any of the delicate surfaces in there, including some plastics. Gunk is a degreaser and a budget friendly way to get started instead of ordering in the more "specialized" chemicals.

I have the Vapor Jet 2400. Works really well, but some of the more budget friendly models that have their following here on AG really do work just as well.

Don't forget the simple effectiveness of the foaming Gunk or Napa engine degreasers at your local auto parts store. Work well without having to spend a lot of money to test something you may not like or ever use again.

I responded to you in the other thread, but that compressor will be too small. You need one that puts out closer to 5cfm.

I have both a steamer and a Tornador. While I love them both and use them both on every detail, if it came down to choosing one it would be the steamer. In fact, I've kind of transitioned to using the Tornador for dressing duties after doing all my cleaning with a steamer. It may be because I...

Love mine, though I'm still using the original white one. Will try the black soon enough I hope.

Stilltipping, What size compressor do you have? My Harbor Freight 20 gallon keeps up, but I wouldn't want anything smaller. There is not much you can do to make up for an under sized compressor aside from getting a second one and running them in parallel, by then you might as well just spend...

I too have had luck with mineral spirits then Goof Off when the mineral spirits didn't cut it. Recently I tried urethane reducer when neither of the above worked and was pleased. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/67838-paint-reducer-body-solvent.html If you end up this far...

I am always a fan of keeping separate units for their intended function. The versatility and reliability of a dedicated vacuum and a dedicated steamer is tough to beat, imo. I even combine two separate units (a 500 psi big steamer and a wet vac) into one nozzle for my extraction duties...

Regardless of what you ended up with or how much you spent, I'm just glad you're joining the detailing world using more than a drill with an attachment!

Ya, I wouldn't want to. A car radiator is under 15 psi and approx. 200 deg water. These steamers are over 100 psi and 300 degrees. That will literally burn you to the bone!

You forgot the coupon savings on the HF--both Harbor Freight's on the unit and Autogeek's on the pads and stuff.

Everyone sure is being rough on the kid! That's how I started many years ago...a 13 year old kid using Meguiar's on my dad's Porsche. Since he's across the pond he substituted AutoGlym. Other than a less than ideal choice of wash brushes (I've seen worse, though), I'm not seeing too much...

Very nice review! I like the total honesty, which I unfortunately question on so many other reviews.

It's actually north of $5k:wow: I use my steamer all the time in my main cleaning business as well as auto detailing, so it's worth it to me.

Don't discount the difference both 10psi and 10+ degrees make. Yes, I'm sure the first will fit your needs fine, but the two should perform appreciably different. I've only ever used a continuous fill machine, so I can't comment on refill frequency and how often you have to wait 20+ mins for...

At this point (for correction), I don't think a WW would be of any benefit. In fact, I'd rather use a soap that's too strong for weekly washing (like Dawn) to strip contaminants off the paint. You can use WW afterwards to maintain it. 105 and 205 work great, also check the DAMF system as it...

My next unit, 185 psi!: Vapor Steam Cleaners, Electric Steam Cleaners, & Propane Steam Cleaners, Commercial Steam Cleaners, Industrial Steam Cleaners, High Pressure Steam Cleaners, Steam Cleaners from THERMA-KLEEN™

Marco Distributing/Carnuba store in Costa Mesa might carry them. A search will yield their website.
