Took it to a charity car wash for a kids lacrosse team. Only time I'm ever happy to pay for a car wash with water spots and streaking

I usually just stop and make a donation .....

That way, I feel good and my car doesn't suffer.

Welp, I'd never steam wash a modern car's engine, at least with an old fashioned, high pressure steam washer, ........ because, it could blow half the parts out of the engine compartment and melt the other half ......

I used to wash all my engines with pressure washer all the time too, but over the years the technology continues to advance and is much more than parts, battery and arternador. My profession is auto detailing and thats why mine and other companies wont deal with engines anymore because the HIGH RISK....
