Has anyone tried something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Portable-Car-Pressure-Washer-High-Power-Pump-12V-80W-Electric-Car-Wash-Cleaner-/222592800133?hash=item33d3909585:g:hE8AAOSwiGRZdw62 to clean bikes before putting in the car?

Seems a lot cheaper than the 'commercial' battery powered portable bike washed from Nomads, Mobi etc...

They claim a similar pressure to Nomads pressure washer too.

    As long as you carry a bucket of water too.

    I just take some 4 pint milk bottles with water, a bucket and a sponge.

    Do not point washer jet at bearings or you'll risk washing out the grease
