Tornador Tips

WHAT CLEANERS SHOULD I USE IN MY TORNADOR TOOL?

We highly recommend using the TORNADOR branded cleaners: TC Enzyme (for carpet & seats), TC Foamy (for interior carpets & seats), and TC Sudsy (for exterior washing). Each are formulated specifically for the TORNADOR Tools. They each come in a 2oz and 1 gallon size. Simply add the 2oz bottle and then fill your TORNADOR jar up with water. The gallons will last you a really long time, since you’re only using 2 ounces per jar. The TORNADOR branded cleaners can be purchased online. Click the link in the top menu to learn more and order them.

If you have a favorite neutral pH-balanced cleaner, use only 2 ounces of product, then fill the jar with water. This dilution is about a 32:1 mix. “Green” eco-friendly all-purpose cleaners work well. Protease enzymes work ideal on tough food and other stains on carpets and seats. Remember, if your cleaner chemical is strong smelling to your nose, it most likely needs more water dilution. TORNADOR Tools require little chemical for them to work effectively. The cyclone action of the tool and unique patented design do most of the hard work.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TORNADOR CLASSIC & BLACK TOOLS

Each of the TORNADOR Tools have a different purpose and some work by personal preference. If you are new to the tools, then we recommend starting with the original TORNADOR CLASSIC (Z-010) to get familiar with how the tools work. Then you can advance to the beefier TORNADOR BLACK (Z-020). Both Classic and Black work similar. Many have a personal preference for these tools. Try them both to see which one you like best. The Black requires less air power and is built with stainless steel ball bearings in the rotate set (inside the cone), which will last longer and is better for heavier use. The CLASSIC tool uses a plastic “whip-style” weighted tube in the cone. Each clean with similar patented technology. The cleaner from the jar is sprayed into the soiled area via air force while spinning in a vortex (tornado) action. This vortex causes the saturated soils to quickly lift into the inner cones. Turning both of the TORNADOR’S air reverse switches to the horizontal “down” direction draws only air and will then dry the cleaned area. The Velocity-Vac Attachment (ZV-200) easily attaches to the TORNADOR BLACK tool and adds a powerful vacuum (with the use of your wet/dry vac). This tool is very popular as it’s an all-in-one hand held tool for vacuuming, cleaning, and air drying. It’s causing many detailing professionals to roll the old cumbersome and heavy extractor into the corner of their shops. See more tool differences in our video section.

Tornador Tips

WHAT SIZE COMPRESSOR SHOULD I USE FOR MY TORNADOR TOOL?

TORNADOR TOOLS must be used with an air compressor capable of producing a constant air pressure of at least 70 psi and 5-6 cfm. Do not to exceed 110 psi in order to protect your TORNADOR from unnecessary wear. A large storage tank or a high cfm compressor is the key to getting maximum benefit from the Tornador Tools. Since large tanks are cheaper than high cfm compressors, go with the biggest tank you can find. We recommend using at least a 5 cfm compressor with a 10 gallon tank at the bare minimum. A 25 to 30 gallon tank would be much better to get and require less refill time. Both the TORNADOR CLASSIC and the TORNADOR BLACK work best with an air supply of 90 psi and 5 cfm. A 10 gallon air compressor can meet those needs and the tools will work fine, but after about thirty seconds the compressor will turn on to make up for the air demand. You know what they say: “The bigger the better.” This is very true in this case. Again, get the largest one that you can afford if you’re going to be using it often.
