I'm planning on picking up a hand-held steam cleaner soon for a number of things, including cleaning road grim off my bike. I've heard these work wonders for cleaning hard surfaces like tile, engines, grills, wheels, and whatever else (obviously not painted plastics or anything heat sensitive like that). Anybody already use one of these for their bike?

I've got my eye on a popular one with good reviews, the Euro-Pro Shark. Apparently you just put in regular tap water, let it heat up, then your in business. I've heard of people using these to clean up atv's and farm equip, but never street bikes.

This to me seems perfect for cleaning sprockets, engines, forks, and other parts where chain grease and road tar and everything else builds up and is hard to get to. Anybody already use one?

Upon reading a few more pages of the amazon.com reviews, it seems half of them are complaints about people not happy with the bathroom cleaning abilities of this thing.

Before posting sarcastic remarks in this thread please remember im only asking if anybody has experience using steam cleaners on motorcycle parts.
Thnx BK
