DrivingTheDream Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've decided to arrange for a professional to come round on Saturday to have a good go at the car inside and out. There's a few reasons, I want a machine polish to get rid of the minor marks and light scratches. The interior has some paint marks on the leather I want out too. I also want the engine bay steam cleaned but have heard it can be hazardous? The reason is because the previous owners water pump blew and the bay is a mess. Should I let him do this? My brother done his and couldnt drive it for a while as water got into the plugs. Anything else I should ask of them? I was going to get the Jewelultra Diamond Brite treatment but it would have doubled the fee and I'm not made of money! Its still getting a wax/polish and Autoglym paint protection.

Angarak Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've heard steam cleaning the engine bay is bad as it can screw up the electrics. Shame as my engine bay needs a bit of a clean to get the 10yr old crap off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
