What about steam cleaning?

I've been thinking about this lately too. Detail shops offer steam cleaning; I looked up a local place and they say they'll do it for $35. Once you add up paper towels, degreaser, AND your time, it doesn't seem like such a bad deal.
If they really do *steam* clean it, it seems like it'll get off a lot of stuff that you won't remove withe a 'cold' process, but I'm a little wary of what might get damaged. My car's an '85, and has the notorious disintegrating wiring, so I don't want to aggravate that. Seems to me that any process that uses harsh chemicals or high-velocity powerwashing might be bad news, but I don't know what so-called 'steam' cleaning actually involves.
