    No the thing in the middle only helps at cleaning.

    I have the tornador and use it for engine bays and some interior cleaning.

    But i only have a 25lt compressor and i can use it about 30-60sec then i need more air that it works

    The middle part keeps the solution from puddling/accumulating (shooting solution straight out) Does everyone get that?. You do have to keep that area clean though.

    I heard that there is a new version of Tornador gun. Anyone know something? Also who manufacture this gun?

    i like mine alot. they say to turn off the cleaner solution to use it as air only and it helps to keep the liquid down. but it sure speeds up interiors.

    sticking the nozzle in a bucket of water and then pulling the trigger while its connected cleans them out great.

    AS in the uk retail these such items and ive been looking into getting one as they do seem quite the handy bit of armoury in the detailing set up.

    We used these at the detail shop I used to work out. Except we'd take the container off and just use it for interior. Really helped when a car had felt around the windows, inside the console and stuff like that.

    I've only used one on carpets but it works really well. Needs a decent sized compressor though to get the best results as far as I have seen.

    i got mine from SSTG and it works really well. i have a huge compressor here at work and it really works well. The problem is that there are many connections through out the shop so the pressure goes down really quick. i have never tried it out with APC, so i will need to try it because the enzyme cleaner that comes with the tornador can be pricey. What APC did you use with your tornador?

    AG also says to use APC with their model of tornadors. while auto magic recommends their enzyme turbo cleaner for all interior. Just wanted to know. thanks

    I use a tornador on my compressor at 150psi. and it does a great job. Works really well for sanitizing through a/c vents system. Shoot it though one vent, and you see it starting to shoot out of all the other vents.

    I didn't realise they still make these. You have to be very careful when using them to clean instrument panels as they can easily force the cleaning fluid behind screens and panels. I've never liked the idea of getting excessive moisture into switches and sensors
