Steam cleaning

[gotmud]

Anyone know of a place I can the underside of my 80 steam cleaned? 14 years of gunk is way more than I want to try and remove by myself. Self serve car washes don't even touch it, beside crawling underneath isn't an option.

Ask around boat shops and marinas.
Years ago, when my family had boats, we'd have the barnacles steamed off every fall.

Steam cleaning seams like a bad idea to me, but then again I don't know anything about it..

Steam cleaning is prolly the best way to clean an engine, drivetrain, undercarriage, etc.
I've been trying for 2 years to convince the powers that be to buy one for the shop.

I had a steam cleaner at the shop I worked at when I owned my 40. Cleanest engine and undercarriage I ever had. Power washers can't compare.

Perhaps A to Z or similar rents a Steam Jenny? Man, my neighbors will love seeing a trail of sludge flowing down the street!

Fine lines or linez in Tucson. Had them do my FJ60 and Tacoma stuff looks brand new, show room about $140-160

Apache Sands in east Mesa (Main and Sossaman) does detailing. They charge $65 to do both top and the whole bottom side. Dropping my 80 off tomorrow.

if they find any barnacles let me know and i'll bring some drawn butter...
