    Their Enzyme product is excellent. I have the gallon size. It's pH neutral, which is best for the internals of the Tornador. Pick up some WD-40 and be sure to lube up/degrease the metal rotational part of the tool every.single.use It's key to it's longevity.

    I'm totally grateful for your knowledge and help. I have an email into Tornador to buy a part they just came out with that they said is not on there site yet. But they do have them and it will make for a much better fit and the hose won't stick up but horizontal from the gun. I've been seeing it on there adverts as well as the Sema video.

    Re: Bought a Tornador Max.

    I just ordered from them. I had to spend $100 to get out of a $30 freight charge
    And I really didn't want more than a screw and the VCA-200 Velocity-Vac Adapter. I ended up getting a gallon of there Enzyme cleaner. Was told by TTQ AKA Carpet whisperer it's really great stuff!
    I really hate high freight charges and totally steers me away from buying 90% of the time! Unless in this case it's the 10% exception since there the only show in town to get one from. I would of been better off just ordering a whole new Velocity Vac if I had known I bought the max on sale for $199 vs. $250 and found a seller on eBay that sells just the vac head.
    Anyway I have to say that it is the single best interior tool I have with the exception of the vac itself. I did a whole interior detail yesterday on a good sized SUV and it chopped my time in half! I was so blown away! Literally felt stupid not owning one sooner. I used Megs 14901 in the jar and the whole car only used a third. I really can't wait to try it with the vac

    Wait. So the new, in-stock VVs come with that 135° elbow, but not the one you got off eBay? Is that what I’m getting out of this?

    Pulled the trigger on a Max/VV with the 15 off today. Didn’t order Enzyme, what other of my gazillion APCs and textile products can I use in it?

    Re: Bought a Tornador Max.

    I put Meg's 149 But it would be insane with P&S express interior. Dude you are going to SH$T Little green apples when you use it!!! I even ran it just fine on the 2.6 CFM @ 90PSI Porter Cable Compressor I got for $119 at Acme Tool. I wasn't going balls out squeezing the trigger which majority of us wouldn't anyway. I'd do a panel at full capacity and then follow with a spray bottle with P&S Express.Then when I was ready to hit another area the compressor was already off and at full capacity again. it would run at full throttle for 45-60 seconds at a time which is more than enough! Don't worry what you read on everyone saying it has to have a minimum of 5.2 CFM. Takes up tons of room and you need a minimum of a 4KW generator just to run a 15-20 amp compressor.let me know if you decide to grab a coiled hose I found a place that is half the price as Obsessed Garage and everyone else. And guns are on eBay.But they run out of stock quick on the models I got. But they get more every week.
    I bought a Prevost air hose 3.8 X 50 and a coiled 26" and 3 guns also.

    You were smart to grab both at the same time. I hope you got the newer model VV
    ? They come with that new part that cost me $100 today since I had to spend $100 before free freight or I would pay $29 for shipping! F THAT! I just bought like 6 of then and I'll sell them to get my $ back.lol

    Re: Bought a Tornador Max.

    I just tried to piece mine. I only wanted the vac head. Then after realized that new part they just got in. I literally found out about them 2 days before they were going to put them on there website. I have like 9 corresponding emails back and forth with John at Tornador and he said I saw it up before he had even seen it! He was super helpful.
