Has anyone used one of those 100 dollar steamers as seen on TV to clean engine area.Might buy one for the wife for me to use if it'll do the trick.This way I can clean areas of the car up inside garage with out neighbors bitching to the HOA, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

I have the shark steam cleaner, bought from television. Tried it on my '81 928 and while it worked somewhat it was not as good as I expected. Now I use the cheap carb cleaner from autozone, it ate through 25 years of accumulated oil/dirt easily.
