I really need to clean in the crevice behind the strut towers. There's practically mud and mold growing there.
I'm going to hit it with my steam cleaner and some diluted super degreaser. |

Attempted humor. Prefers wearing clothing as opposed to working in the nude.

does steam really work better than spray in? Wouldnt it be harder to clean.... im guessing it does a better job but more time consuming, no?

@Packofcrows yes steam is awesome. Hardly uses any water. I usually wrap a towel around the steam nozzle attachment and the hot water accumulates there, making the surface under it VERY hot, boiling temperatures. Mold doesn't stand a chance.

If anyone's interested in a compressor, I strongly advise against those oilless ones. As long as the compressor itself is a "real" one with a wet sump, it'll work great. Mine's been chugging away for almost ten years.

@Ultramaroon I've been thinking of getting a pancake air compressor so that I can use a Tornador tool (look it up). Do you know one that I could squeeze into our cars through the passenger door?

I looked at the Tornador. It needs a bigger compressor, one that can deliver 5 CFM at 85 PSI. That's about twice what the one I linked can deliver. edit: Here's a pretty badass little one. Still, it claims 3.3 CFM @90 PSI.

My engine gets sandy (I live on a sand bar LOL Florida...) so I vacuum my engine every once in a while.

Before elbow grease.
After. I use compressed air to blow dust, water, and particulate off/out of my engine bay all the time now to keep it clean. |

And you're new here. @Packofcrows' mother tongue is Spanish. His answer was in earnest as was his question to you.
Try dialing back on the butthurt.

Perhaps other ways to put things? This site has a feeling of going over half life. With an air of stale unpleasantness. You don't have to look far for signs. My comment really wasn't that bad in the great way of things. Was what followed really necessary? |

I never even addressed you but if you're going to press this silly issue then... A joke that flops is a failed attempt at humor. Now take a few breaths. It wasn't personal. Idiomatic humor most often does not translate across cultural boundaries. That's all.
