that steam cleaning looks great, but it also looks like it stripped of paint in a number of places too (for instance springs, shocks, half-shafts) - is it high pressure?

I don't think it took the paint off. I think those are still dirty spots where the item was not cleaned properly. Maybe I have bad eyesight!

Nice results guys ^ !

I like doing cleaning / refinishing also

but you feel like it will Never End once you start. Every clean part makes the
other unclean one look that much worse.

I especially like when the 928 rear suspension is clean and seen from behind.

Bertrand, your car looks great, we will all probably spend more time under the cars at frenzy comparing all the cleaning we have all been doing!

My wife doesn't understand why I spend so much time cleaning under the car

Diesel to dissolve, and a voltatile solvent to rinse off. Recently did the engine bay and engine on an 84 300ZX that i've been doing a refresh on for a buddy of mine.
