Motorcycle cleaning w/ steam?

2 replies created 3 months ago
posted by jbl5150 3 months ago

I've seen a new thing for our area recently which is a carwash that "washes" cars with a steam type machine. Does anybody have any insight into this type of wash? Any idea on who makes these steam machines?

Also, do you all think this type of system would work well for the cleaning of motorcycles?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can tell you from experience in Auto restoration that Steam is dangerous even the hot water machines dont get rid of grease but just move it around.
We found that warm water with orange base ( citras ) works really well cleaning engine bays for restoration projects.
When using hot water or steam I always sent the project OUT so I did not have to deal with the mess it leaves all over the place :)

As a matter of fact I have been corresponding recently with a company in Saudi Arabia that cleans cars with steam (they recently purchased several pces of equipment from me). The steam equipment they use advertises they can clean you car with very little water - sounds hard to believe. Look at the website and view the video:

Also look at the company that manufactures the machines. Supposedly very little water is left on the floor and it will supposedly do a very good job.
