    New McCulloch MC1385 Steamer?

    Flex vs PC

    Yeah, I have been wanting to upgrade to the Flex 3401. I have a lot of 5.5" pads and want to be able to use them though. I thought I saw a 5" backing plate for the flex but can't find it on autogeek. Is it available there? Thanks

    Interior detail with syphon gun

    Yeah that thing looks like it works good. What about with a small air compressor that puts out 2.0 SCFM at 90 psi. Do you know if that will work?

    Interior detail with syphon gun

    Yeah, I am considering purchasing a tornador for interiors, but I use to work at this place where we used a syphon air gun hooked to a compressor with a hose in our cleaner. It seemed to work pretty good, but it's been a long time since then and wondered if anyone has any experience using a...
