Steam Cleaning Engine
I've heard steam cleaners work really well at cleaning the engine compartment, suspension, etc. I'm looking to purchase one now. There are a few that can be bought for $50 or so but I think I want something with a little more horsepower. Does anyone have any recomendations?
Thanks

Rick: I got one of the Red devil with the power adapter, like $70, and works like a charm.... I dont have opt, but suspension, engine, etc, works great, spray simple green, wait then power steam, and wipe clean...

I clean my C4 engine by hand.
But I recently cleaned my daily driver's engine compartment, and SUV.
It has 10K miles and was very dirty. I sprayed water from a spray bottle to wet everything. Then sprayed Simple Green all over, let it sit about 10 minutes.
Then I washed it down with a garden hose, low pressure.
It came out looking like new.
As mentioned above, don't wet the opti or alternator.
