Ok, so I watched the demo video where the person is spraying the radio and dash controls with the tornador foam. Is it really that easy ? Won't it wreak havoc on the electrical ? Is it really that easy to use one ? Just blast all the stuff then jet dry it with air ? I've got a S550 MB and there's a ton of little delicate switches and controls I'd assume wet mist would wound it irreparably....
 
I dislike the idea of the tornador, but some say it's a must have.
The two problems I see with it are 1: cleanning product waste and consumption, and 2: the tornador just pushes the dirt or stain below the texxtile further so that you can't see it. I feel the stain will reappear.

When I worked at a tire center, there was a display that involved an oily fluid. Well, it got knocked over one day and spilled onto the carpet. The steam guys would come in to clean the same carpet every few months because the stain would just reappear after awhile.

On your first point, you would be surprised how little product you use. I've used my for applying dressing and I use far less than I do with a trigger sprayer and towel, plus I get very even coverage.

The second point, can't really argue with that. But the tornador brand chemical is enzyme based, so the intent is that it literally eats the stain; so even if you push it deeper into the fabric, the enzyme should be removing it assuming it is in contact. Since most people use APC or a similar product for cleaning, my response is something of a moot point.
 
It doesn't push dirt further down, it sucks it up into the cone. You also use hardly any chemical when using it.
 
After having one I wouldn't be without it. Makes the interior cleaning so much easier.
 
I have one as well and would not do without. The tornadic action sucks up the same as a tornado does not drive houses underground but up in the air
 
I couldn't agree more with what most are saying about the Tordanor. It's a must tool for every detailing. I've used it for interiors, engine bays, and even for cleaning air filters as well as air cleaners. Knowing how and when to use will allow users to maximize it efficiency and can save a lot of time too. :)

Don't forget door jambs and air conditioning vents/ducts, and dirty cuholders. Just make sure to use it before vaccuming.
 
Perhaps if there were more review videos for the consumers point of view that would be helpful. Considering the asking price I know I wouldn't buy it unless I was sure in good faith it was worth the dollar
 
I have an extra Tornador Z-10, if anyone want to trade for it

Interested in M100, M101 and coatings

No doubt. My coworker said she used those back in another towns dealership. How is it for really caked up crud? Like rocks that fall into sill crevices or thickening dirt around those areas?

Provided that you're with the required pressure and a working space for the air to work on, caked-up crud will be a walk in the park. I haven't encountered solid rocks yet so I can't really vouch on it working on such. With thickening dirt, again, just give it the right pressure and you'll be set. :)
 
That sounds epic! Think I might have to get me one. Be a MDT major detail tool! You offering one you say?
