Hello everyone, I am looking to buy a good steam cleaner to detail engine and area. One i have for house steam cleaning doesn't seem to have enough pressure. What do you all recommend for brands and types.
Thanks

Since this isn't a C3 specific question, you'd be better off posting in Car Care

Hope this helps...

I’ve used my old electric pressure washer on all my car engines and motorcycles.
It doesn’t have as much pressure as my gas powered pressure washer and has always done a wonderful job.
It even has a soap attachment so I can spray with some degreaser, remove the soap bottle then pressure wash all the dirt away.

The OP is looking for steam cleaner recommendations. Interesting that your old electric pressure washer has that option, what brand and model is it?

I was just trying to help the op with a pressure washer option especially since the op mentioned pressure in his post.
I’m pretty much done trying to offer people help on this forum.
