Our Manifesto

We build tools for real professionals.

Anyone who works at a professional level knows the difference between clean — and truly done right.

It’s not just about finishing a vehicle.
It’s about achieving a result that meets your own standards.

That’s exactly what we build our tools for at TORNADOR®.

For over 25 years, our brand has stood for innovation, performance, and durability — but above all, for results that speak for themselves.

We believe tools should do more than just work.
They should simplify processes, save time, and most importantly: give you confidence in the result.

Because in the end, it’s not just about how fast you finish.
It’s about how you look at your work when you’re done.

TORNADOR® is built for those who give it their all — every single day.
And who need tools that live up to that standard.

Making Pros Proud.

FAQ

What can I clean with a TORNADOR®?

TORNADOR® tools are built for deep cleaning vehicle interiors and hard-to-reach areas.

They’re ideal for dashboards, vents, seats, carpets, door panels, boot areas and more.

From everyday dirt to embedded grime and pet hair — it gets the job done quickly and thoroughly.

Who is a TORNADOR® really for?

Anyone who takes their work seriously.

TORNADOR® is designed for professional detailers, valeters, workshops and anyone working on vehicles day in, day out.

It’s also a strong upgrade for enthusiasts who want professional-level results.

What do I need to use a TORNADOR®?

You’ll need a compressed air supply and a suitable cleaning solution.

A standard workshop compressor is usually sufficient — the key is consistent airflow and pressure.

Depending on the job, you can use interior cleaners, APCs or specialised products.

Which compressor works best?

A compressor that delivers consistent airflow is essential.

We recommend at least 270–300 litres per minute (L/min) at working pressure for optimal performance.

Bigger tanks and stable pressure output will improve efficiency and results.

How much air does it use?

TORNADOR® tools are designed for efficient air usage, but performance depends on your setup.

On average, you should expect around 250–300 L/min, depending on the model and pressure.

A properly sized compressor ensures smooth operation without pressure drops.

Are TORNADOR® tools suitable for beginners?

Yes — but they’re built with professionals in mind.

Even if you’re just getting started, you’ll benefit from faster cleaning and better results straight away.

That said, once you’ve used it, it’s hard to go back to anything else.

How does TORNADOR® compare to cheaper alternatives?

Cheap copies often lose performance quickly — and don’t last.

TORNADOR® tools are built for long-term use, with durable components and reliable parts availability.

That means consistent results, day after day.

How often do I need to maintain the tool?

Basic maintenance keeps it running at full performance.

Regular cleaning and occasional replacement of wear parts will ensure long service life.

All key parts are available and easy to replace.

Does it pay off for your business?

Absolutely — often within hours.

You save time on every vehicle, reduce rework, and achieve better results.

That means higher throughput, happier customers, and more revenue over time.

Many users say the investment pays for itself faster than expected.

Are spare parts available for TORNADOR® products?

Yes. Spare parts for TORNADOR® tools are available long-term.

That’s a key advantage over cheaper alternatives, where wear often means replacing the entire tool.

Who uses TORNADOR®?

TORNADOR® is used worldwide by professional detailers, valeters, workshops, dealerships, and specialist cleaning businesses.

Anywhere efficient and thorough cleaning matters, TORNADOR® is part of the standard kit.
