Tornador

Is the Tornador really worth it? From the videos I have seen it seem to work well, but it carries a heavy price tag.

Re: Tornador

I guess it depends on what you're using it for. If you do this for a living it does do a lot of work for you, and it does allow you to clean many of the nooks and crannies more thoroughly.

If you're a weekender I wouldn't waste your money on it. Quality work can be done with a good apc, water, brushes and MF's.

A more versatile tool to look into would be a steamer anyway.

Re: Tornador

By far one of my best investments ever, especially if you do a lot of interior work.

I think you hit the head on the nail, I am more of a weekend warrior right now. Would a this tool or the steamer be reconmened for headliners? Speaking of steamers, where should I begin to get an idea of how they work, cost, etc?

If you're going to use a steamer on the headliner, you need to be super careful and move rather quickly to avoid melting away the adhesive that holds the headliner up; the tornador is a little safer option.

Thank you for the headsup maybe I will just stick with old techinque for now, if my biz grows then I will invest in the product.
