Making Sense of Vapor vs. Low-Moisture Wet Steam Car Wash Machines

Nowadays, three technologies are marketed as steam car wash machines to those seeking to professionally clean the exteriors of cars.

Learn More - Powerful Wet Steam Car Wash Systems

Read on below to discover the different types of cleaning technologies available and which are best for steam car wash applications.

Click here to view a listing of powerful, effective steam car wash machines.


1. All-Electric Vapor Steam Cleaners & Their Shortcomings

*Inappropriate Steam Cleaners for
Exterior Steam Car Washing

The most important thing to keep in mind is Daimer® offers the most powerful "dry" vapor steam cleaners (pressure levels up to 150 psi and temperatures up to 386°F) in the industry, and is a leading expert in steam cleaners backed by 37 years of engineering expertise. Keep in mind 110-120 volt or 230v, single phase machines are incapable of generating pressure levels over 125 psi. If you notice anyone offering higher pressure levels, then we encourage you to call us and ask to speak with a Product Specialist to learn about reality vs. fantasy.

Our unsurpassed client list includes some of the largest domestic and multi-national customers in the world. We offer the most diversified "dry" vapor steam cleaners and steam vacuum cleaners. In fact, we were the original suppliers of commercial and industrial steam cleaners and steam vacuum cleaners in North America.

However, we have never and would never market our all-electric, boiler-based KleenJet® machines as steam car washes. Unfortunately, some vapor steam cleaner providers attempting to capitalize and profit by the steam car wash "craze" are unsuccessfully attempting to promote their systems to unsuspecting car wash/detail professionals.

Also, "dry" steam cleaners are incapable of deep cleaning car fabric upholstery and carpeting like powerful carpet/upholstery steam cleaners. See powerful systems professional auto detailing and car dealer customers use and buy - Professional Car Carpet/Upholstery Cleaning Machines.

Here is the major problem: It is an absolute fact that all-electric, 110-120 volt or 220-240 volt, single phase systems using boilers with no propane or oil heating method ... with even 3000 watts of power (higher than those 110-120 volt vapor steam cleaners currently advertised) are unable to generate enough steam density, power, and steam longevity to successfully professionally clean the exterior of cars. Imagine systems under 2000 watts!

Do you notice any videos you may have seen fail to show a dirty car being cleaned by one of these? Do you also notice the person in the video is constantly wiping with a towel?! It seems to be a matter of "smoke and mirrors" with little visible cleaning of extra dirty cars.

The reality is "dry" steam containing about 5% water in the vapor is much too dry and the vapor pressure, which is much too weak for the application, drops too quickly to be effective. Boiler-based systems have trouble maintaining their pressure if used continuously even for 10 or 15 minutes before the vapor pressure falls off.

The user must stop spraying the steam to allow the system to regain its pressure again. The operator must stop and start frequently, a major problem that adds up to this: poor cleaning power and a dramatic loss of productivity resulting in wasted time and lost revenue, period!

2. Propane and Diesel Oil Heated "Dry" Steam Car Wash Equipment

Several Chinese, Korean, and European manufacturers are offering drier steam systems whereby the system is powered by electricity and steam is generated by propane or diesel. This method is promoted to those auto detailing or car washing professionals who are either unable to unwilling to allow water to flow along with vapor.

These machines are especially inappropriate for those who suffer from winter weather. The drawback is the "dry" steam produced by the technology if still not powerful enough to clean cars without constant towel wiping. In addition, "dry" steam, as much as these vendors would like you to believe, are still not effective for the most efficient and productive removal of hardened mud, ice/snow, and other more troublesome substances. Towel wiping of areas with unnoticed dirt or mud can result in paint scratches.

Videos on the web show systems attempting to clean mud, etc., but the obvious result is ineffective cleaning. Another drawback is constant towel wiping is very tiring, especially if the user is cleaning a number of cars per day.

3. Powerful Wet Steam Car Wash Systems

Examples of Industrial Steam Car Wash Systems
with the Most Powerful Cleaning Action Available

Industrial grade steam car wash systems with pressure levels up to 1500 psi are absolutely and undeniably the best machines to effectively and quickly remove substances from car exteriors during the winter and summer months. These systems, which do not contain an internal water tank and need an external water tank or direct connection to a water supply, emit temperatures that are enough to clean the cars without chemicals and the constant towel wiping required by "dry" propane or diesel heated steam car wash equipment, but these temperatures are not high enough to hurt the paint. In addition, the user has complete control over the distance between the nozzle and the car surface.

Similar to Korean, Chinese, or European "dry" steam car wash machines, this steam car wash equipment technology must be powered and heated separately. Users can select among systems that are powered by electricity or natural gas for those who use natural gas and seek a system for installation within their facility. 60Hz systems are available for North America and countries that use 60Hz power. In addition, models are available for those countries that require 50 Hz power.

Propane, butane, and diesel oil are the most popular heating methods selected by users.

Conclusion

100% electric powered and heated machines, such as the Kleenjet® steam cleaners or other similar "dry" vapor steam cleaner machines on the market are completely useless for steam car wash applications.

Steam car washing requires the use of technology that will allow auto detailers, car dealers, or car washing professionals to clean as quickly and effectively as possible. Time is money and a loss of productivity by using the wrong systems will result in lost profits for those who charge for washing or detailing cars.

Powerful steam car wash machines with pressure levels of 1000 PSI or higher are certainly the best machines to do the job correctly and in a timely fashion. These are also the best to clean in both winter and summer conditions.

"Dry" propane and steam machines are inappropriate for winter conditions. Constant towel wiping is very tedious and is more likely to create paint scratches and damage than high pressure wet steam car wash equipment, which cleans without requiring the same constant wiping.

The Industry's Greenest, Most Powerful
Auto Detailing Mobile Car Wash Machine

Auto Detailing Mobile Car Wash

Daimer's Super Max™ 6120SCW is a 110-120V, 60Hz, industrial/commercial low moisture steam mobile car wash designed specifically for auto detailing applications. For users requiring a 220-240V machine, see our Super Max™ 6230SCW. Both steam car wash systems are available in 50Hz as well.

Since this powerful machine features extraordinary steam temperatures up to 250ºF, pressure of 1000 psi and a very low flow rate of .5 GPM, the 6120SCW provides immense cleaning power without causing any harm to vehicle surfaces.

You can run the equipment for up to 10 hours straight in a completely mobile fashion using only one fill of a 300 gallon water tank if you mount one in your vehicle!

The Super Max6120SCW auto detailing steam mobile car wash machine is excellent to:

  • Clean engines - fantastic engine steam cleaner with low moisture for outstanding cleaning results!
  • Remove dirt, mud, brake dust, bugs, salt, grease, oil, tree sap and more - dissolve and clean substances faster than other car wash machines and systems!
  • Even melt ice and snow - the steamy flow melts stubborn ice and snow faster and with much less water than conventional cold water car wash auto detailing equipment!

Prior to the creation of Daimer's revolutionary steam mobile car wash equipment, vehicle owners were forced to choose between two methods of auto detailing: using conventional pressure washers or dry steam cleaners. Conventional pressure washers are a highly inefficient method of auto detailing as they emit huge volumes of wasted water, up to 5 GPM, and potentially paint-harming pressure, up to 3000 psi. High water flow rates may result in water running down storm drains and potential EPA fines, unless you purchase water capture and perhaps recirculating systems.

Dry steam cleaners may actually scratch paint because the vapor only contains about 5% water; this requires constant wiping which may scratch the paint. Dry vapor flow lacks cleaning power while Daimer's mobile car wash equipment offers much higher pressure and better flow to dissolve dirt and other substances from virtually all vehicle surfaces, including engines, wheels, car exteriors, glass and much more.

Not only does Daimer's Super Max™ 6120SCW provide the best car wash results, but this auto detailing equipment is the most efficient mobile car wash system available. This means savings for your auto detailing business. The 6120SCW mobile car wash equipment is so effective it does not require the addition of chemicals or other auto detailing products as do other car wash systems.

In fact, once you purchase this mobile car wash equipment, it will be the only auto detailing product you will need to wash cars quickly. For your mobile car wash business, choose the best car wash equipment available: Daimer's Super Max™ 6120SCW Auto Detailing Mobile Car Wash Equipment.

GO GREEN with The Industry's Most Powerful,
Rugged Car Detailing Machine, Mobile Car Wash!

Car Detailing Mobile Car Wash

Daimer's Super Max™ 6230SCW, which is is the only mobile car wash equipment of its kind for car detailing businesses, auto dealers, and others, is a highly powerful, 220-240V, 60Hz, industrial/commercial, low-moisture steam mobile car wash machine designed for car detailing applications. For users in North America and many other countries that need a 110-120V powered machine, see our Super Max™ 6120SCW. Both steam car wash systems are available in 50Hz as well for those who live in most foreign countries.

Offering a powerful 1000 psi of pressure, a low flow rate of only .5 GPM and high steam temperatures up to 250ºF, the 6230SCW cleans faster and with less energy than traditional pressure washers, and the 6230SCW will not harm vehicle surfaces. Daimer's car wash system provides immense cleaning power without the need for car cleaning or detailing chemicals or other potentially harmful car detailing products.

The Super Max6230SCW runs for up to 10 hours straight in a completely mobile manner without the need to connect to a an external water supply ... using only one fill of a 300 gallon water tank if you mount one in your vehicle!

Daimer's car detailing mobile car wash is safe for virtually all vehicle surfaces, including engines, car exteriors, wheels and more, and is excellent to:

  • Steam clean engines - wonderful engine steam cleaners with low water flow for superb cleaning results!
  • Quickly remove dirt, mud, brake dust, bugs, salt, grease, oil, tree sap and more - eliminate troublesome substances better and more effectively than other car wash equipment and systems!
  • Even melt ice and snow - the hot flow dissolves ice and snow quickly, without the heavy and wasteful water flow of traditional cold and hot water car wash auto detailing equipment!

Prior to the development of the Super Max™ 6230SCW mobile car wash machine car detailing equipment, vehicle owners were forced to chose between highly inefficient and weak cleaning methods; two troubling car washing methods: conventional pressure washers and dry steam cleaners. Conventional pressure washers are highly inefficient as they use huge volumes of wasted water, at a rate of up to 5 GPM, and feature potentially paint-harming pressure, up to 3000 psi.

A high volume of water risks runoff that may flow down storm drains, unless you use a water capturing or recirculating system. Daimer's low-moisture mobile car wash produces only a mere fraction of the water flow!

Dry steam cleaners, emit up to 100 psi or so of pressure and lose their pressure and temperature as each minute passes. Dry steam cleaners may actually scratch paint. The vapor only contains 5% water. This requires constant wiping which may scratch the paint. Due to its low pressure, dry steam cleaners will not remove hardened substances as they lack the power. On the other hand, the 6230SCW car detailing machine maintains constant temperature and pressure as long as the system is used.

Use Daimer's 6230SCW as your mobile car wash; it will be the only car detailing product you will need to effectively clean cars in a green manner. For the best mobile car detailing available, choose Daimer's Super Max™ 6230SCW. It is the best choice for your mobile car wash business.
