Picked up this Vapor Clean Pro5 for mainly interior messes, but thought I would try it out under the hood. Just took some pictures and a couple videos to show some before/afters and during shots. Enjoy!

Car is a 2009 Nissan Altima. The engine bay wasn't that bad. Just some normal dirt build up.

No chemicals were used. Just pure steam.

Here are some video I shot. Not the best but it shows how it works. Keep in mind these were the first couple times I used it so my technique may not be the best. Still experimenting.



Just a little test with chemicals. Meg's APC+ 4:1



Overall I really like the Pro5 and how it performs. Warm up is about 15 minutes. (Feels longer if you stand there and watch it, lol.) I haven't used an cleaners with it really so I am sure it will break up the dirt and grim a lot better with some help.

Thanks for looking! Any comments and questions are welcome! :D

Yo Ryan!!!! Thanks for posting this man. I was hoping you would post something on it. Looks like you've been having some fun with new steamer. I'm gonna have to save up some money for this thing. Right now I'm eyeing the Master Blaster as a birthday gift from me to me.

Anyways, man the photo's and video's were great. Definitely looks like a tool worth its weight in gold. And from what I've seen they aren't too bad in price. Oh...btw...your "reverse video" is pretty creative!

No problem Alex! I saw your post about getting some pictures up so I thought I would throw this together tonight. I'm having a blast with it for sure! It's well worth the money, especially for those nasty interiors.

The Master Blaster looks like an awesome machine. Some machines you have to save up lots, but they are worth it because of the time savings.

The reverse video was a project for my video editing class.

Thanks man!
