Steam Cleaning and Dewaxing

Steam Cleaning And Dewaxing

Due to the high temperatures generated by steam cleaning equipment, there is a risk that certain trim components could be damaged and some adhesives and corrosion prevention materials softened or liquefied.

Adjust the equipment so that the nozzle temperature does not exceed 90 degrees C (194 degrees F). Take care not to allow the steam jet to dwell on one area, and keep the nozzle at least 300mm from panel surfaces.

DO NOT remove wax or lacquer from underbody or underbonnet areas during repairs. Should it be necessary to steam clean these areas, apply a new coating of wax or underbody protection as soon as possible.
