You sir are the Man! Lots of work in a short period of time. Looks great. I sent you a PM about some parts you may be interested in...

Which I'm sure Craftsman supplies. The only reason I've been looking into a steamer is to do just what you did (my seats aren't bad but I'm a clean freak) and to help loosen grime before I pressure wash it off, which makes only 1700psi sound alright to me and especially alright for that price. You may have just sold me on a pressure washer, good sir.

Glad I could help! :D Another thing is there isn't any real cord storage which gets pretty annoying but the unit isn't that big so it's alright

I'm in the market for a pressure washer, like the added bonus of steam, and might be a bit brand biased with Craftsman. I found the one you probably got online; what do you think of it?

I love it! The steam is more powerful than the steamer i was going to buy and it has the added pressure washer, which I've only used once, but that worked great too! I lifted the front of the eta and sprayed all the built up grime and oil on the underside of the car. I made a huge mess on the street...

If you can get the craftsmen steamer/pressure washer for 150, I'd buy it again. The only down side is lack of steam attachments

Craftsmen Steam cleaner/pressure washer for 150$ ;)

I'm digging how quickly you're banging this stuff out. Sub'd.

very nice...you put in some work

I tried to remove it when I restored the paint, but it's harder to get off then I thought it would be. It's not painted on

I would get an eraser wheel and a heat gun then. Should come off. I would likely warm it a few cycles with the heat gun over a few days, and then buff that bad boy off.

I'd try to get an eraser wheel to remove the pin stripe if it is not painted.

Awesome. This is way better than the e46.

Edit: You did a really nice job with the e46 though. e30 is just cooler.

Thanks :D

dude, good progress. You are really knocking this thing out of the park :)

You should tuck your front and rear bumpers.

I was going to tuck the front one when i had the bumper off but decided to wait for a warmer so i could compress the shocks outside. Maybe tomorrow :pimp:

Just bought myself a 1985 318i in similar shape for $650! I'll be following along!

Wow I was about to say "looks like you've got your work cut out for you" but now it looks like you've tackled it head-on! Huge improvement so far (didn't even realize this was the same car from your other thread at first).

Keep it up!
