| Tornador Depression
OK, so you haven't heard from me in a couple of days--guess I've suffered from dtailer's depression. I don't think anyone anticipated receiving their Tornadors(yes, I bought both) more than me (see my 100 posts-ha).
Firstly, you need a real compressor--no, a pancake will not recycle air
quick enough to maintain needed pressure.
The foam looked great initially, until it all slid off the car--if you don't get it off quick enough, you're liable to end up with one huge water spot.
Less product is definitely more.
P.S.--I was dissapointed in the quality of the blue microfibers that came with the special--I wash all new towels before use, an several came apart and
frayed(compared with the other200 I have purchased from AG, these are probably the worst--guess I'll use them to clean wheels).
Hey, after all my purchases, at least I finally got an added gift--a bottle of
water--wow. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky with my upcoming Wednesday delivery and get another bottle.

I forgot, I did receive two free black wow trim cards
I should have used the Tornador $ to upgrade from my PC to a Flex--oops.

I figured spending $200.00 might intitle me to some samples....guess I will use the bottle of water to cool off,,,,,,,,,,lol

From a marketing perspectice I would like to see AG use the 2oz sample bottles more, with a variety of products, that they toss a few of in your box to give you an opportunity to try some other things.
I'm hoping maybe I can return the Tornadors and get some kind of credit so
I can go ahead and buy the Flex--if not, I guess they'll go to e-bay, since my wife said a new compressor is out of the question--she's nicknamed my garage AG Southwest.

That's too bad. What are the specs on your air compressor?

Yeah, I think that is a little sorry for you to be complaining about a free gift.
Also, dogging on a presumably good product from AG (tornador) and then saying that its your air compressors fault also looks kind of sorry. The product i'm sure is fine, it's your air compressor, so dont bad talk the product.

The Tornador Foam Gun and Car Cleaning Tool are going to work best with an air compressor that can produce 5 CFM or more at 90psi.

WOW!!! I went and looked at mine, it a 5.2 HP, 25 GAL and it is only rated for 3.5 CFM@ 90 PSI. So the real question is, is that rating for continues use or would the air compressor have time to catch up when actually using the tool?
