Do we prefer steam cleaning or pressure washing when it comes to removing decades of grime from a classic muscle car? In this episode, we put both methods to the test on our 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1, better known as “Lazarus.” Years of dirt, grease, and road grime don’t stand a chance—but one method absolutely outperforms the other.
This deep clean is a crucial step in getting Lazarus back on the street and show-ready as we prepare for the Aiken Horsepower Car Show on April 18th, 2026. Every decision we make matters, and choosing the right cleaning method could mean the difference between hidden problems and a solid, drivable classic.
We break down the pros and cons of steam cleaning vs pressure washing, show real-time results, and reveal which process is safer and more effective for classic car restoration. If you’re working on a barn find, project car, or full classic Mustang restoration, this is a must-watch before you grab a hose or steamer.
Watch the full video to see which cleaning method wins and why.
