I have had one for years. My daughter brought her car to me saying my granddaughter spilled a yogurt on the dash into the corner bt the windshield. Of course she didn't find it for? In the summer heat. I used the Tornador Z with super citrus in it to clean it up. Tomato soup in the cup holders thanks to my wife cleaned up pretty easy as well.

I like the one with the liquid tank, use super citrus as the cleaner, then blow dry. Works great...

The videos make it look like an efficient detailing tool. Not sure I would use it like I see in some of the videos. It looks like for fabric it drives the dirt deeper into the cushion underneath. Still lots of good uses.

I have never noticed it driving any dirt deeper into the carpet, or fabric. I keep it a little further away from them, then I do leather, plastic, etc.

There are some cheaper versions of these as well. For the vents and little cracks in the plastic, the moisture softens the grime, then the air blast it away. If it is a really dirty surface I let it sit a little longer to soften it up.

And all this time. I been using my leaf blower. lol.

Not joking, I have. When the dogs hair is so much it could be a whole dog the blower does >90% or more.

The Tornado showed up yesterday. I'm about to go test it.

/*** Edit ***/

Very nice. Will be very useful, and not just to detail the inside of the truck.

Yeah, if a compressor is not apart of the garage, then a small blower is great. I've been a compressor owner for >40 years and use it all the time for so much. Tis one of the most versatile tools one can own, after a socket set and a good set of screw drivers. And a hammer! Gots to have a hammer. :head3:

I had a Craftsman 30gallon compressor, til finally I upgraded. Since I have been collecting even more air tools. Love'n them all.

I use the Rigid version of the hand blower, but I favor my small hand-held Wolfbox for the interior and for blowing water out of the outside mirrors and around the badgeing after a hand wash.
