We are often booked in advance but please call us as cancellations do happen and in that case we could certainly add you to the schedule.

Can steam damage the paint in my car?

No, paints made for automobiles are highly weather-resistant and supposed to endure extreme cold and heat. In general, the temperature of the steam on the washing surface is well below 100°C (212°F). The steam pressure is preset at 8 bars (116 psi). This is a relatively low-pressure rate, but powerful and sufficient enough to wash various surfaces clean and efficiently. Steam is not abrasive and therefore suitable for all kinds of vehicles. The steam is totally safe for the exterior and interior of your vehicle. Please let us know if the vehicle being serviced has interior or exterior full or partial vehicle wraps, window wraps, vehicle paint protection films and/or non-factory tinted windows as we will not steam those areas.

Is steam as effective as using water when cleaning a car?

Yes, the steam helps break down dirt very quickly and efficiently. Also, our machine is equipped with a moisture control valve that regulates the moisture to the steam for a depending on the level of cleaning needed. It easily lifts dirt and stains from carpet or upholstery and easily enters into hard to reach areas that are difficult to clean with other methods without producing overspray.

How do you sanitize a car?

The high temperature of steam is a self-cleaning and anti-bacterial treatment that kills 99% of bacteria, germs, fungus, molds, viruses and neutralizes odors. All this contributes to the overall air quality affecting you and your family’s health on a daily basis. We also offer a sanitizer fogging service as an add-on for that extra layer of protection.
