Re: Tornador Blastor Vacuum Attachment - A Favorite Cool Tool
You're always making me want something new Mike!
Is there a way to get it to blow solution like the original Tornador, or is it only dry?

Sorry about that but when it comes to cool tools, it's fun to share them with others. I also show this in all my detailing boot camp classes and make sure everyone has the chance to test it out while in class.

No way to make it blow solution, at least not that I'm aware of or in its original configuration.
That might work but one thing for sure, just using it dry works well enough.

Does the air compressor need to have a minimum SCFM? Also, would recommend a minimum tank size for it to work effectively?

I'm not sure offhand what the minimum is for square cubic feet per minute or a minimum tank size but here are two vague answers, a lot and big.
You can't use this tool with any type of portable air compressor. A general guess would be 60 gallon minimum, something that stands as tall as you.
I know the air feed requirements for this tool and the below tool exclude a lot of people from using them but I still wanted to share them as they are truly cool tools that help make any detailing project faster while making you more effective with your time.

Mike,
I was searching the site for a good review of the Tornador, but couldn`t find one. Is the foaming & Car cleaning nozzle interchangeable? Also, which would you recommend for interior & mat deep cleaning?
Thanks,

No. Different thread sizes. I wondered this too and checked for myself.

Vacuum first. Always. You want to use dry extraction to remove any dirt before introducing any liquids. Liquids will dissolve dirt and via gravity cause it to penetrate further into the fabric. So dry extraction, i.e. vacuuming should always be preformed first.
For deep cleaning.... wet extraction. There's no other way unless you can remove the thing you want to clean and blast it with a water hose or pressure washer and in the case of a pressure washer you want to be careful that you don't cause any damage.

Got ya, that`d be too convenient.
I always vacuum first. But I have recently been doing a lot of soccer mom mobiles and SUVs with kids and very messy interiors. So I am basically looking at the cleaning one. Do you like it?

For dry extraction, you can't beat the combination of a good shop-vac and the Tornador Blastor Vacuum Attachment.
I think it makes more sense to extract dirt out of fabric versus blow dirt into fabric but both can make dirt disappear.
I use the air gun to blow dirt and dust not INTO carpets but across carpets and out of the car. I did that for this project...

Ran out of time or I would have vacuumed but the interior was actually rally clean and the Tornador with all doors open made fast work of what little debris was on the floors, console, dash and seats.

Maybe I should`ve clarified, I apologize. Using it with a cleaner for carpets and cloth seats. I have a good carpet brush for DA, but wondering if this tool is worth saving time.
