    Can the Tornador Foam Cap be used on the Tornador Car Cleaning Gun?

    I hadn’t logged in for quite some time but I had a couple of questions about the conversion from the Tornador Foam version to the Tornador cleaning gun. They might have changed them since I did mine but I did successfully convert mine. I couldn’t find a write up for it but do have pictures of...

    Tornado Black - Has anyone bought/used one?

    Quote: "Sasquatch is hiding in Frank's compressor." The compressor works fine, my point was that the Tornador Black was not revolutionary just evolutionary. It works well and as I said I'm glad I tried it.

    Tornado Black - Has anyone bought/used one?

    I received mine today. With the VIP discount and free shipping I couldn't say no anymore. I have the classic Tornador as well. The Tornador Black didn't seem to show much more power than the classic until I started doing the carpeted floor boards then it became noticeable. Is it better I...

    Tornador Car Cleaning Gun

    Yes, you can convert it if you want to. I have done it. You need to buy the weighted tube assembly and the new tube that is attached to the adapter that screws into the valve assembly but it can be done. I'll see if I can find pictures of when I changed it over if anybody wants them.

    Having Trouble Finding Some Tornador Parts-- Also looking to convert a reg Gun into a Foamer-

    I converted mine from Foam version to standard version. I'd be willing to get rid of the parts I no longer need from it. Still use the valve though.

    OEM Decals

    3M's adhesive remover works well for removing dealer stickers. Have removed several using it. I can't stand them advertising on my car either.

    Gimp - Free software for editing photos

    Gimp is an open source alternative to Photoshop, while it is complex it's easy to learn the basics and ignore the rest of the program. Also Microsoft's PowerToy Picture Resizer is incredibly handy to take those high resolution pictures and knock them down quickly and easily in file size.

    Ace Hardware has a decent selection of nozzles that will work. I swapped mine out right away for one that was more comfortable.

    Anybody else use Undercarriage Spray?

    I have Griots Undercarriage spray however I'm not going to buy anymore of it. I thought it worked well but was ridiculously overpriced. Armor All diluted 2:1 looked pretty similar. If it ever warms up in Iowa I plan on trying out several other products too.

    WG Detail Bag

    I have the Griot's version of this bag and wanted to know if anyone else has had the same problem that I have had with it. The dividing shelf seems to collapse when just the Porter Cable 7424XP is sitting on it after about 3 or 4 hours. I had originally thought that maybe the snaps were just...

    garage lights

    If you don't mind building your own fulham workhorse ballasts are usually used in High Output lighting fixtures. If you buy them and wire them yourself it will save a fortune. I used them often when I would make my own lighting for aquariums. Plus you can get great lighting options for...
