Hello AGO this is my first post and my apologies if this is in the wrong place but I wanted to share my idea and see what you all think.
I've been detailing on the side for quite some time now and have always been an entrepreneur. So I decided to make something out of my passion of detailing cars and make some real money doing so. I have the tools to do a detail in the shop but not mobile which is what I'm in the process of getting around.
I was thinking of an alternative to have compressed air for blowing out crevices, vents, etc. I won't be using my tornador unfortunately but I can manage until I can afford a nicer rig.
So instead of buying a new compressor that will fit in my Crown Vic along with the shop vac and inverter/generator I was brainstorming an idea. Here is what I came up with.

Its a 150 fixed psi regulator with a quick connect, hooked up to a 20oz paintball tank that I had laying around. It works great for short bursts of air and the entire set up only cost me like 80 bucks(I already had the tank). Benefits: Quiet, very portable, no moving parts(reg if anything), cost effective for start up IMO.
Cons: Limited air(haven't tested how long it will last)
Let me know what ya think. Thanks!!
