The guy who is doing the paint is a little overwhelmed by the shear
amount of grease and grim that my car has.  Too keep the price from
increasing on the work, I am trying to find the best solution for
going over there and doing it myself.

Since the heat shields and wiring are going to be replaced, I would
like to steam clean it, but I don't have access to one.  I have a
pressure washer, but it has lost pressure (I suspect seals are gone)
or I would use that.   I might rent the steam cleaner, but would have
to see what one cost for a days rental.
