Doing research on cleaning my own after some work to the engine. Cleaning removed components before reassembly and brush cleaning whatever I can reach... Your method looks promising for going over everything once my car is back together. Lots of Volvo c30 bits in video car. Nice job!
Even your old Dad is impressed by this engine clean. I know when we get round to it. My cars gonna look great...... sooner ot later. Very good video. Dad 🍺 😂🤣
No worries Dad I'll sort it
You could buy a separate liquid tank for the Tornador and use plastic dressing in it ! It saves so much time and also it gets in all the nooks and crannies so everything is covered in dressing !
Great video too 🤗
Thank you mate. Great tip well worth a try
This has turned up at a good time, my partner's car's EB is a mare to clean. Also my preferred black plastic product is now NLA and others I've tried, wash off all to easy and leave streaks. Neither of us have the time or mobility to fiddle about going over the same ground. Our local petrol station "valeters" are shockers too. Thanks for sharing 👍😊✌️💜
Great video I have always cleaned around the Bonnet boot and doors on all the cars I have owned including the jambs
Ima keep it simple. Your a mad scientist 😎Keep up the work champ! I admire those that think outside the box!
Thank you
Really good and quick way of cleaning your engine bay. Great episode:)
Thank you very much 🙏
Once again a fantastic and informative video Dave
Thank you Mark
Thank you for the video Dave. Very impressive results and way safer than blasting an engine bay with a pressure washer. If one owns a compressor, the Tornador is a must have tool.
Thank you Karl yeah it's such an awesome tool. Well happy with it
Great updated very tempted to buy one
Its amazing for my business i totally understand if your only going to use one a few times a year then you have to factor in costs etc
Did some mention the word EPIC ?
Very effective and time saving. Gets most if not all the surface cleaned.
Never failed me to this day and I’m running tornado black.
Is there much difference between tornador black? I may try that
@@epicautomotivedetailing Tornador Black is the 2nd gen to the classic. Some improvements were made, less air consumption, lower operating dB and has more power than the classic. Tornador max is the newest one which features inline swivel connector, new spring rotate set, tactical led, and some ergonomic improvement.
Brilliant approach in cleaning a car's engine bay. I hope we have those tools here in Canada. More success to your channel. :)
Thanks so much 🙏🙂
Yet another cracking video Dave, very informative as always, thanks for keeping us all thinking of better ways to do the everyday stuff
Thank you mate. I just trying new ideas that (I think other people do this already) but if it's new to me it's always a school day
Welcome back Sir
hello
I was mulling over doing the exact same thing in my video, so I shall - just so there is further evidence supporting the method. It's absolutely perfect for this - not quite dry ice levels of clean, sure, but it's bloody good.
Actually yes please. I need backup before the community tears me a new one on this topic 😅. To be fair you could just stick some ice cubes in it and pretend it's dry ice 🤣
Great video Dave I love the satisfaction of before and after especially a dirty engine bay. Would love to see a video on cleaning Alcantara. Any recommendations on removing small stains?
i can make a video on that
@@epicautomotivedetailing wicked! I look forward to it
You hardly got the engine wet,like most guys who saturate the engine bay with gallons of water,your method is safer and dryer,good job
Great video of a great product. What does the inverted Ford logo stand for???
very important to spray generously on sensor connections and cables, if its posible , spray also the DME directly or the housing at least
I clean engine bay solely with Tornador, because it's safer around electronics, battery, etc., but also cleans around the caps way faster than a brush with chemical bottle ...always works great!
It's so good. Was very impressed
@@epicautomotivedetailing Me too! The only downside is, that you need a bigger compressor to feed it.
Bought a used tornado gun. But found out that my compressor is a bit small. Would love to have a bigger one. Love to try a engine bay cleaning with it
great alternatives??? Koch chemie apc, spraybottle and the motorplast .... I love your challel, Dave
Looks great and from what I can see it uses less water than a pressure washer so in theory I may be safe to use around delicate areas? Who knows you could try it out on alloy wheels and see if it works with a bit of wheel cleaner added? Would be interesting to see? .
Yeah it honestly uses the smallest amount of chemical. I can do an entire car and still have enough chemical. The outlay is high but the return is worth it
Top pro tip, You can also blow out polishing, pads its very good👍
Yeah I do that it works a charm
once you've blasted it with your gizmo try a leaf blower to finish. No wiping. I do my Harley with S100, water rinse, leaf blower and turns out great in a fraction of the time
Love that, cracking job. I have to ask though, what's the combined cost of an air compressor and the Tornador? Thanks for your content 🙏
thanks mate its around £400 for my set up
Possibly use a Scrub Buddy (available from Home Bargains) for the stubborn areas? Unlike the normal scrub pads, they will not scratch. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you mate
Works for me 👍
Great video, thank you so much 💜 what do you use the Tornador with, water + APC or some other stuff?
You can use APC, citrus pre wash. I may try a few other things along the line
Fab video Dave. Haven't got an air compressor so could you do video with blowing through a straw for the budget minded? 😂 ❤
Lol fair play Im sure I could invent something
Sandro from Car Craft Auto Detailing on YT has been doing this method for year's and it WORKS.
Wish I checked lol. Is that the Australian channel? I did another engine bay yesterday and it was so fast . Definitely a good money maker
@@epicautomotivedetailing Yes best Australian detailing content 🇦🇺
I like the UK detailing scene and the USA last because everyone seems to be flogging a dead horse in America just be make $$$ on product's. In my opinion
Using a degreaser instead of water in the Tornado sprayer can work better? Just asking.
If you have an open air intake , stuff it with a microfiber towel .
In wich conzentration u used your produkts ?
i absolutely love your videos haha... i mean, you might have heard of the company i work for if you're from the UK, we're called "svs" (specialist valeting services).... now don't get me wrong, we are more like an agency, so i can't say every valeter is amazing... but we do have some good lads, how ever... my point here... i work for a valeting company and i take a lot of pride in my work, for example, the autoglym van turned up on site the other day, i spent 600 quid and didnt even get chemicals, it was literally just getting new brushes and clothes etc (my tools) again.
but as a valeter, you know one thing i really do hate and i hate it with a passion... polishing cars -.-
Thank you mate. Can't say I've heard of them but I've been so hooked up in my own world I don't really stop to look around since I cut back on the valeting. honestly I can't wait to call it a day so I can enjoy cleaning my own car in a different state of mind
Online everything is perfect bolts getting no problems and so on. And then you are working 2 days to do a 20 minute job...😂❤ We all been there...
Currently in this situation now 😂😂
It's called editing 😂😂
I think the lad means it always looks easy on cam but when you come to do it it’s a 2 day hike
Hi video vary interesting.
I was just wondering what standard car polish have used ?as I'm thinking about trying a different one I can only polish by hand as not used a polisher looking at hand polish iv used sonax perfect finish good polish
Cheers 👍👍
Stewart
I actually like using glazes now followed by wax. So no abrasive technology to remove scratches but then again you save so much time
@@epicautomotivedetailing cheers m8 👍😄
I'm sure you said it somewhere, but I couldn't find where you say what you put in the bottle of the Tornador Classic. What liquid did you put in it?
He said he'd reveal that in a future video. (About 1:25) It's been a month now and he still hasn't said, or I missed it.
How do you find the size of the compressor re air volume versus using the Tornador for long periods of time? Do you find the compressor is constantly trying to keep up as it is relatively small compared to what the recommended size is? 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have a 50l and its great. The only drawback is the generator noise
Here is the real quickest way: Spray with an aerosol can wheel or engine cleaner- rinse with low pressure garden hose. Apply a second time and brush any thick grime. No expensive equipment needed.
Man your behind the times I’ve been using them for years, and the Tornador blow gun I have 4 of them
Imo this guy is the only good detailer on TH-cam. Keep it up
Thank you. I wouldn't say I'm the best but definitely the word "good" is a fair shout 😁🙏
Alright alright, Dave, Im sold! Wondering if 200ml of hot water and a teaspoon of surfex HD or similar degreaser would do the job on those stubborn areas?
Yes mate 100% I just used the new apple Pre wash from infinitywax and it was great. I've barely scratched the surface with this tool and it's mega
@epicautomotivedetailing I first saw Sandro using one (Car Craft Auto Detailing) a long time ago - and he rated it as a daily mobile detailer's tool back in the days before his studio. (Another) Wicked channel and what looks like a great tool. Its on my list. Quick Q on your air compressor as i@ve got he same one, if i may.. What PSI are you setting it at and are you doing that on the compressor itself or do you have one of those additional valve things to set it? Jsut curious as I barely use mine (as you know, The Noise!) and this would be a good way to start doping so. And ten mins? That's a result in itself! Less mess, less fuss and quick. And who doesn't like one of those on a Friday?
can you show us again on an engine bay thats dirtier please .
Yes certainly
Good thing choosing an older car fo these experiments 😅. Glad it worked out, now Tornador site is mostly out of stock...
That's annoying hopefully they got more in stock soon
How long do you get while using tornado gun before air pressure isnt powerful enough.
My Air compressor automatically recompresses itself so it never loses air pressure
Are you just using an APC in the tornador?
Sorry its an apple pre wash. Infinity wax millions range
Wouldn't some citris-based cleaner on a cloth take off that lithium grease? It usually works for me and no danger of scratching the plastic (or metal). Also, I usually use the blue scotchbrite sponges because they will not scratch metal and usually won't scratch plastic either. In fact, I only use the green scotchbrite when I WANT to scratch the surface.
Yeah it would but I felt if I went further and filmed that process then it would expose me to a lot of negative comments regarding the tornador not being able to remove it and the truth is it eliminated everything else easily so I respectfully left it out to show how far you can go with one 🙏
@@epicautomotivedetailing I totally get that! My comment really was more about how darn abrasive those green scotchbrite sponges/pads are! That Tornador is amazing tho! Unfortunately, I don't have a compressor and I've already more than used up my Dad's Toys budget for the year. :-(
What did you use in the bottle? An APC?
Infinity wax apple Pre wash (millions range)
Great video
Thank you Mike
It’s only the top layer of the engine compartment. I was hoping to see how the electrical connections and the alternator were prepared for the spray !!
Uncanny timing. My oil cap fell off and I have oil all over my engine bay. Tackling the clean up tomorrow !
Nice one have fun 🧽🚗
What type of water did u use?
Wet water
Elbow grease still the best
on the market & less than
a fraction of the price 🥴👍🏻
fair play mate whatever works for you
the way you pronounce tornado is making me want to punch the wall ffs. great video!
06:17 Ford logo up side down 😂
??? that's how you open the bonnet. The logo rotates upside down to then put the key in to lift the bonnet up
A dirty engine bay is reassuring has water protection and seals minor leaks
20+ years for the most part this is how I clean all my rides. LOL then i hit with a quick detailer.
Does the job for sure
My engine bay would need a pressure washer, that thing isnt enough lol
I've not properly cleaned my engine bay, I'm abit scared to to be honest 😂 I wipe over with some APC on the rocker cover 😂
its all good. don't aim for perfection and it reduces the stress :)
elbow grease and spit is the only thing you need
Fair play if that works for you 👌
Cost ??
£110 for the tornador but you can get cheaper fakes for £30. Not sure how good they are though
Hi so I have to buy a gun and compressor ????😢
no not reallly most of this is overkill , engine bay cleaning with water and chemicals is safe just check for anything overly exposed , done it 100s of times and never had any issue
No you don't have to. I showed in the other 2 videos alternative methods that both work fine. It's just another method to add to the list. For me this is the best in terms of speed, safety. However dry ice could be better but again the costs are astronomical for one of those which still requires an air compressor
Wonder is the cheaper ones do the same job at £100 less of the price
Not sure. The quality of this tornador classic is brilliant
Welcome to the future🇨🇦😂
Is that your natural voice tone?
Unfortunately yes please press the mute button if offended 😅
🍻👏👏👏
Cleaning your engine now. Rat infested later. Rat will live in you engine bay. Your welcome
What? 😂 he’s blowing dust & air not layering it with chocolate and cheese
Hope you don’t clean your house mate 😂
The tornador reminds me of something and i cant place it. A cartoon. A castle scene where royalty arrives and a row of figures play medieval notes. Their heads are trumpets playing the music..... and that looks like the tornador. Shrek? Fantasia?Christ this is bugging me
the engine part is never washed, if it is greasy, it means that you should go to a car mechanic and not wash it
Greasy from where the mechanics smother it on the hinges I mean
I’m still afraid throwing all that pressured aerosol onto the connectors.
Honestly it's not going to do any real harm. I'm still using daily and yet to find any faults
Reason why i never clean my engine bay.
1. It will attrack rat. And they live in your car because of the moist.
2. Not good for the wiring in the engine bay.. wire fet damage when expose to water and then heat. . Who care if your engine bay is dirty. I just use air blower to remove dust.
Use wd40 and a cloth job done
I love my tornador but my steam cleaner does a better job cleaning my engine bay
This is just a dust removal video. Show us how to remove greasy engine and transmition, not plastic covers..
No point I already make enough money from dust removal videos 😂
I pressure wash my engine bay. As long as you're not right up to it on the wiring etc or driving a tesla or something I've never had an issue. Ppl so scared lol
I know right, I get hate for the pressure washing video and it's never done any harm
