Volkswagen Golf R32

Janine dropped off her Mk4 Volkswagen Golf R32 for an engine bay detail. She is the seventh owner of this car and she is trying to play catch up with maintenance and cleaning. I was happy to steam clean and degrease her engine bay for her and bring it back to all of its VR6 glory.

One big benefit to steam cleaning isn't the pressure like most people think: it is the heat. The pressure does help when paired with the heat but the heat does most of the work. The steam gets into the little cracks and seams that cannot normally be reached with a towel or brush. The results speak for themselves! The reservoirs look almost new and the paint looks as clean as the outside. All trim was dressed with a polymer sealant for lasting protection and a non-static finish.
