I see you listed the Mc Culloch Steamer as part of your equipment, which model do you have and how effective is it on the doorjambs(Hinge areas with all the tight spaces that are hard to reach with a brush)? I just purchased the 1385 (should arrive next week) and am very excited to try it out for doorjamb cleaning and interior work. I know it does not compare to higher end models, but i have seen and heard good results while being used for interior applications.

I have the basic 1275 model, and it did an admirable job. there was no way I was getting in some spots, particularly around the trunk area, with a brush or rag. this just melted away the grime and I wiped it up after. And no streaks.

taking longer than I planned on this, but I have until the end of the week to finish. Pollen is bad in Massachusetts right now! I`ve had to QD the car every morning before doing anything to it :-p

Anyways, I added some exterior after shots, I still have a couple hours to put into it(finish polishing and do LSP), but I think the turn out so far looks great. I know the owner will be more than happy.
