Tips on Using a Steam Cleaner Machine for Auto Detailing

Steam Cleaner Machine for Auto Detailing
A steam cleaner machine can clean a variety of surfaces. The latest models of steam cleaners by Daimer™ come with numerous features, including variable output pressure, dry vapor steam, rugged construction, stainless steel boilers, and more. This allows for the prolonged use of these machines on a variety of hard and semi-hard surfaces.

Challenges of Auto Detailing
One of the major challenges of auto detailing is cleaning the many different surfaces of an automobile. Carpets and seat upholstery are soft surfaces, while the metallic body, engine components, and window glass are hard surfaces. One has to use versatile cleaning equipment to clean all these surfaces. A steam cleaning machine is a suitable system for auto detailing because of its versatility to clean many surfaces.

Typically, a steam cleaner machine can provide an output temperature of up to 360°F. This enables these machines to quickly dissolve stubborn grease, dirt, grime, bug residues, water stains, bird splatters, and more from vehicle surfaces.

Effectiveness of these machines lies in ejecting dry vapor onto surfaces. Dry vapor means super heated water with less than 5 percent of water content.

The trick of using a steam cleaner machine for auto detailing is to find the right balance between temperature and pressure levels so that the machine can clean the surface efficiently, without causing damage. It is also important to consider the limitations of steam cleaners. Though they are ideal for cleaning windshields with an attached squeegee, door jambs, consoles, paneling, wheels, and other vehicle components, they are not ideal for cleaning the painted body of an automobile. This is because many steam cleaners require constant wiping which may damage the paint. Additionally, they are only designed to spot clean carpet and upholstery. Full interior detailing can be accomplished through the use of a carpet extractor.

Daimer®®, a well-known supplier of cleaning machines, offers a variety of steam cleaning systems for auto detailing applications with ideal temperature levels up to 360°F and pressure levels up to 150 psi.
