Steam cleaning is what I've found to be the best- that is if you can find a place that still does it. Seems these new cars elaborate systems are vulnurable to steam and most detail shops don't use it anymore.

Joe....Thanks...never thought of steam cleaning but then again we don't have any around my neck of woods... Small town and we are lucky to have a power washer. I have heard of portable steam cleaners, kind of like a power vac size, ever heard of that? jim

Blue, I think if you look around at some of the trucking firms you might find one with a steam cleaner.I know when I worked for Asbury Transp. they had one and I used it on my 66.
Not familiar with portable cleaners.
