    I'm conviced that any steamer will help, the difference would be in pressure. I mean it's like a pressure washer the more pressure you have the better off you are, within reason of course. As you don't want to remove the paint of the vehicle ofcourse. But the same theory applies to the steamer. I mean you don't need a high pressure steamer to do the leather seats or interior for that matter, where the high pressure does come in handy is when doing rims, wheel wells or areas that just need that extra...oooh like really dirty door jams :thumb:

    As to 303 I really shouldn't waist too much product but when it comes to waxes I just love applying a thick coat :crasy: :crasy: That goes for anything I apply but I can see that 303 beign drenched on wouldn't really do anything besides make the fabric stiff lol.

    Glad you enjoyed it, hybrid model...um..do I don't it is, just varified with the owner..(he sits by me) and he said no.

    Glad you enjoyed it :peace: lol..Toyota sexy back :lol: that's a good one :thumb:

    Thank you glad you enjoyed it :thumb: yes I'm very pleased with the lights in my garage, you should have seen the look on my wifes face when I turned all the lights on...she literally had to look a way....mmmmuuuaaaaahhhhaaaaa :devil: :wicked:

    Then she commented that I would need sun glasses to work in the garage but I ignored that comment :popcorn: :popcorn:

    Carlos..great job on the Civic. You've got me thinking about my steamer now..maybe I've been too narrow minded about its uses. Could you do a video showing it on the wheel wells, etc? That'd be great! Also, do you have any DG 601? For longevity, it supposedly helps extend the life of the 105. It also makes it cure faster, so when I use the 601/105 combo, I can top it with AW for a bit more bling and a bit more protection. Just my .02.

    Carlos what steamer do you have? It is amazing how well you can literally eliminate all chemicals and have maybe 2 concentrations (1:3, 1:10). Have you tried just using it alone with MF in the interior? Will totally reshape how you see eco friendly & the power of vapor steam at over 212 F+.

    :shead: well the owner said it wasen't the hybrid model but I honestly don't know what the model is on this one :confused: As to the wheels, they weren't too bad to clean but the have an edge that's was a pain to get my finger in. The bad thing about these rims is that they are hard to get inside the rims, so the inside is going to be really, really dirty. Maybe I'll take the rims off when the owner brings the vheicle back in the spring :shrug:

    Thank you Joe, glad you enjoyed it buddy :thumb:

    Hey Compa, haven't seen you around too much, hope things are well with you. Glad you enjoyed my friend, as to the rims...not my favorites but it's a Honda :shrug:...don't get me wrong nothing wrong with a Honda, I once owned a Honda Civic my self :shrug:

    Hey Richy, glad you enjoyed it buddy. To be hoenst Richy, this steamer has ultered my detailing system so much I feel like I'm learning how to detail all over again..the steamer and the ONR system...but I like it, I enjoy not making a huge mess in my garage. I'll be sure to make some videos with me using the steamer, it truly does save time. I was shocked to see how quickly I could do the rims, wheel wells and tires...and you know me, being slow at a simple wash..heck even the was is a breeze with the ONR system. As for DG 601, I thought I had some but the bottle is now empty..I really need to get a gallon of this stuff, I really like using the 601/105 combo too, I'll be ordering both is large containers shortly :thumb: Oh and yes AW is great at giving that extra bling to the 601/105 combo, learned that from you and home boy Al-53 :worship:

    Um...pictures of the lighting system huh..ummm...well see the thign is that I'm done with the lighting system I got 80% of the lights up, I'm still waiting for a few thigns to arrive.

    The steamer I have is the Vapor Chief steam cleaner. Like I said it isn't a cheap unit but like I always say you get what you pay for. :nod: I agree with you with a steamer you literally use less if not any chemicals. I mean I'm a huge fan of P21S TAW on wheel wells and engine bay and now with the steamer I don't even need to use P21S TAW ont he wheel wells or engine bays....I still doo but that's just because I enjoy using P21S TAW that and if the wheel wells/engine bay really need it but for the most part I've used the steamer on my two vehicles and on about 3 clients vehicles and I've only used P21S TAW on my vehicles...um..just becuase :shrug:

    The steamer in the interior does a better job then me giving the entire vehicle a wipe down first, in fact I no longer need to do a pre wipe down...well I still do it but instead of using a bucket with diluted Meg's APC I now use the steamer, seriously this steamer is so versatile it's shocking...like I said it's ultered my detailing process but I'm not developing a new detailing process....oh one draw back I see, well not now but in the summer I can see it is that the steamer makes my garage get all hot and humid. That's not a bad thing right now as we are currently in winter but int he summer I'm going to have to open the doors...but I'm sure it will be fine :shrug:
