Any suggestions on where to steam clean an engine bay?

I'd prefer a basic DIY setup, but I'll pay if necessary. I need to diagnose some fluid leaks on the 944 and I need a "clean slate" to start from.

Ahem, do NOT steam clean the engine bay...

Engine degreaser, Spray Nine, Brake cleaner, and a garden hose are your friend...

Then you can join the clean engine bay club... they look good even before washing them down...

Exhibit A... Pre-cleaning...

Exhibit B... Pre-cleaning...

Mmmmm... and all the run-off makes those Maryland crabs in the Bay taste soooo much better!

I would think that steam cleaning would be so much more environmentally friendly.

You can steam clean crabs, but not wiring harnesses.
