Tornador cleaning tool

Anyone used one of these on a big compressor? First try out on the new compressor and now I am impressed. Even had a go with it cleaning the Quad bike and it did the job nicely.

I will have to try it out with some different products now...

TORNADOR Cleaning Tools

 

Interesting looking idea. Paul, I looked at the video - almost looks like a "cold version" of a steam cleaner, with chemical cleaners replacing the heat of steam. Would you say that's about right?

 

I have one. Didn't impress me. I like the idea,but prefer more control with my application method. You know what I mean? I do use an air gun to clean interiors 90psi, but the Tornador didn't concentrate enough cleaning ability in a concentrated area for me. Maybe more pressure would help,but I think 90 is max psi. That's my :2cents:

 

I have not used one personally. I have seen one in action, in person. For Mobile guys, like myself, it really isn't a useful tool. With having to run your generator to run your air compressor, to run the product.... it comes out to be more of a waste of time, gas, wear on equipment, and money. Now for fixed locations... that's a different story...

 

The foaming version spits out some super thick foam, looks like real shaving cream.

 

Never tried it because I don't have a compressor. But wow, if Paul Dalton himself likes it, it must be impressive!

 

Yes, I couldn't agree more, running a nice compressor in a mobile van is a nightmare!!!

But the Tornador was very impressive yesterday, I was just playing around with it with some all purpose cleaner mixed with water.

Started off with a dirty grubby BMW M6, I managed to clean, the engine bay, door shuts, wheels, all the rubber surrounds on the windows, all the M6/BMW badges, even managed remove old wax from the cracks around the door handles.

Afterwards, I tried it on the interior and carpet mats, my interior is now perfectly clean, I was amazed, I've always used an air compressor to clean my interiors, but this tool has made it 10 times easier.

 

Some pics of it in use yesterday.

 

Might be a great tool seemingly, but the chap in the video on the Tornador Web site sounds like a dope!!!

 

I own one, i guess the best way i can describe it is a soft brush blow out tool and spray bottle all in one. it actualy pulls the dirt out with the vortex action great tool and has acutaly saved alot of time at the shop.

 

It looks great for cleaning in between crevices. I could use one of those, too bad I don't have a compressor (I use a steam cleaner for interiors and motorcycle dryer for drying).

Paul, are you going to post any pics of the M6 when you're done? :applause2:opcorn:

 

Of course, but I haven't taken pics of me using the Tornador as I was on my own, but we have some good before and afters and 50/50 shots, the roof, bonnet and boot need sanding, so looking forward to getting back to it tomorrow, wheels are being refurbished too, so will get some in the air shots with my new axle stands! lol. :mounty:

 

Nice, looking forward to seeing them!

 

Use a vapor steamer, not chemicals and the potential for cleaning duties is limitless.

 

I have to admit these do look very interesting. I wouldn't mind trying both tools my self...:thumb:

 

Dammit... I shouldn't have read this post. I've had this item on the back burner for a while, but now I think it's been moved up a bit. MUST... RESIST... CREDIT CARD... TOO CLOSE!

 

Sorry, They don't ship to Hungary...:giggle::giggle::giggle:...J/K

 

I've tried it and I think it is great, Paul may I ask how much psi do you have it going on because at the time I thought I read on the instructions that there was a limit(i'm not sure though because it wasn't mine) but if you can put this thing in turbo mode I think it would be even better.

Also guys were can I get the foaming one, link please?

 

The link for both tools is at the first post of this thread...:thumb:
You also run both tools at 95 psi...:thumb:

 

does the thing in the middle come in contact with what you're working in?
