Tornador Black Cleaning Tool
The Tornador Black Cleaning Tool (Z-020) is a highly advanced and durable cleaning device specifically designed for professional automotive detailing. It's an upgrade from the original Tornador Classic, featuring improved power, durability, and noise reduction. The Tornador Black is ideal for cleaning both the interior and exterior of vehicles, particularly in hard-to-reach areas, upholstery, carpets, and other delicate surfaces.
Key Features of the Tornador Black (Z-020):
-
Oscillating Nozzle Design:
The Tornador Black uses an oscillating, rotating cone inside the nozzle to create a powerful, cyclonic cleaning action. This action dislodges dirt, dust, and grime from deep within surfaces and crevices.The oscillating nozzle is more efficient than the traditional fixed-nozzle design, providing faster and deeper cleaning. -
Durability:
The Tornador Black is built for heavy-duty, professional use. It has a reinforced, sealed ball-bearing design inside the rotating set, which reduces wear and tear. This makes the tool longer-lasting compared to earlier models like the Tornador Classic.The tool is also resistant to moisture and contaminants, ensuring a longer lifespan even in tough environments. -
Quieter Operation:
One of the significant improvements in the Tornador Black is its quieter operation. The new oscillating mechanism generates less noise and vibration, making it more comfortable to use for extended periods, especially in a professional setting. -
Adjustable Air Pressure:
The Tornador Black works best with air pressure between 60-90 PSI, but it is adjustable to suit various surfaces and cleaning tasks. The tool offers more powerful cleaning at higher pressures, and lower pressures can be used for more delicate surfaces. -
Air and Cleaning Solution:
The Tornador Black can be used with just compressed air for blowing out dust and debris, or you can use it with a cleaning solution for deeper cleaning. The air and solution combination is excellent for dislodging dirt and grime from surfaces such as upholstery, carpets, and dashboards.
Applications of the Tornador Black Cleaning Tool:
1. Interior Detailing:
- Seats and Upholstery: The Tornador Black is highly effective at deep-cleaning fabric seats and upholstery. Its powerful air-driven action penetrates deep into fibers, lifting dirt and stains for a thorough clean.
- Carpets and Floor Mats: The tool can easily clean carpets and floor mats by blowing out dirt, dust, and grime embedded in the fibers.
- Dashboard and Consoles: It works well for cleaning hard surfaces like dashboards, consoles, door panels, and plastic trims, ensuring dirt is removed from crevices and tight spaces.
- Air Vents: The Tornador Black excels at cleaning tricky areas like air vents, where dust tends to accumulate and is hard to reach with traditional cleaning tools.
2. Exterior Detailing:
- Wheels and Tires: The Tornador Black can be used to blow dirt and brake dust off wheels, rims, and tires. Its cyclonic action removes debris from tight spaces like wheel spokes and lug nuts.
- Emblems and Badges: It’s excellent for cleaning intricate areas such as car emblems, grilles, and badges, which can be difficult to clean with regular brushes.
- Door Jambs: The Tornador Black is perfect for cleaning door jambs and other tight spaces around the car's exterior.
3. Engine Bay Detailing:
- The Tornador Black is effective for cleaning engine bays because it uses air pressure and a minimal amount of cleaning solution, which reduces the risk of damaging sensitive electrical components. Its powerful airflow removes grease, dirt, and grime without the need for excessive water.
How to Use the Tornador Black:
-
Set Up the Air Compressor:
Connect the Tornador Black to an air compressor. Make sure the air pressure is set between 60-90 PSI, depending on the surface you are cleaning. -
Add Cleaning Solution:
Fill the tool's canister with a cleaning solution that is suitable for the material being cleaned (e.g., fabric cleaner for upholstery, all-purpose cleaner for dashboards). You can adjust the tool to use air only, or a combination of air and cleaning solution. -
Test on a Small Area:
Always test the Tornador Black on a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning a large surface to ensure that the air pressure and cleaning solution are safe for the material. -
Spray the Surface:
Hold the Tornador Black a few inches from the surface and spray the solution in a sweeping motion. Use circular movements to ensure that the tool's air vortex covers the entire area.For tougher stains, focus the tool on the affected area, allowing the cyclonic action to break up the dirt. -
Wipe or Vacuum:
After spraying, use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the area. For fabric surfaces, you may need to vacuum up the loosened dirt and debris. Allow surfaces to air dry or use compressed air for faster drying. -
Maintenance:
After each use, run clean water through the Tornador Black to flush out any remaining cleaning solution. This will prevent clogs and keep the tool in good working condition.
