Interior Cleaning Made Easy w/Tornador Gun
Interior cleaning - the one aspect of automotive car care maintenance that I don't enjoy doing. I should re-phrase that; it's the one aspect of automotive car care maintenance that I don't enjoy doing if I'm not getting paid for it. Being that it's 95 degrees here in Southern Florida, and the fact that I have practically no A/C in my car, the windows are open all the time. Having no A/C isn't a problem, because I prefer the fresh air while I drive, but the only thing is that the interior gets filthy within a matter of days.
Dust, dirt, pollen, and insects all find their way within a couple minutes of the windows being open each time I get in the car. I usually keep a couple microfiber towels handy and dust the dash and door panels off every couple days, but every now and then a thorough cleaning is required. Working at Autogeek, and being surrounded by over 60 different brands of car care products along with various different types of tools to choose from, I take pride in having a clean car.

The first time I picked up a dual action polisher, I learned right away what I was missing all those years of waxing and polishing by hand. Ease of use, convenience, and the ability to do a better job - quicker, have earned a dual action polisher a spot on the shelf at home. It's a tool that not only makes the hobby of car care more enjoyable, but it also provides the ability to do things that are near impossible by hand.
Early Saturday morning I picked up a Tornador Car Cleaning Gun, hooked it up to an air compressor, and had what seemed like a flashback to the first time I used a DA polisher.

This is a tool that will change the way you look at car care, especially if it makes something that you usually don't enjoy doing easier, more effective, and less time consuming. If you're a professional detailer, time equals money. The more time you save, the more money you make. The Tornador is a tool that will pay for itself over and over again.
If you're not familiar with the Tornador, it's an interior cleaning gun that utilizes compressed air to blast cleaning solution in to cracks, crevices, and other areas that you normally wouldn't be able to reach by hand, and it couldn't possibly be any easier to use.

The Tornador Interior Cleaning Gun is designed to work with a special cleaning solution called Turbo Cleaner Enzyme Super Concentrate. This highly concentrated cleaner will effectively remove dirt, grease, and grime from interior surfaces. It comes in a 2oz packet that makes a quart of powerful cleaning solution.
As you can see right away, my interior was very dirty prior to cleaning with the Tornador. This is about two weeks worth of accumulating dust and dirt. I usually don't let it get this dirty, but I wanted to put the Tornador to the ultimate test.

I figured while I was at it, I might as well pull the seats out and clean where I normally don't have access to with a vacuum. To do this I took advantage of the Metro Full Size Vac N' Blow. This vacuum has all the power (4.0 peak horsepower!) you could ever ask for in a vacuum cleaner. Best part? It's made right here in America.

Hmmmm, I wondered where my Diamondite Glass Cleaner had disappeared to. It was under the seat!
