    Lookup Tornador, that's the original brand. Supposed to be great on fabrics like floor mats and upholstery and cleaning out buffing pads. Think you need an air compressor with a good CFM to get the best use out of it.

    Seems like it would be best for pro detailers that do interiors.

    Saw an ad for this as well during my various journeys to the back corners of the Interwebs. But how the hell can this thing (or even the Tornador) even clean without a vacuum to lift up the debris and/or dirty solution? Only a few models/nozzles of the Tornador have that, but the cheapo-knockoff "Inspire Uplift" does not. Seems kind of stupid to just pressure-wash dirt and grime deeper in your fabrics using a paint sprayer.

    I have seen these use to pull up stuff a vacuum can’t. The one I saw was using air that brought the debris to the top and then you vacuum it off.

    I'd love to have the one with the vacuum, but I'm about to sell the only vehicle I have that needs interior cleaning like this! I wonder if it works good under the hood?
