No, but unless you are using pneumatic tools why the need for it?

Course, I guess it would be good for blowing out trapped water from trim & such.

Rarely since I am only a hobby detailer, but I do occasionally use it to blow sand out of the vehicle carpet and to blow any accumulation of "stuff" out from under the seats.

I have access to it but only use it for drying the engine bay.

I have, but do not normally use for detailing, unless I'm working on the interior and then only if I have crud in a hole of some kind. IF I had a place warm enough to wash the car during the winter then compressed air would be a necessity for blowing out locks and the like.

I use it all the time. Interiors to loosen dirt in seats and carpets prior to vacuum and the Tornado dash/crevice tool.my wool pad spur has nipple for air hook up for drying after wash and to aid in cleaning pad during compounding.

3" D/A for tight spots and the 3 " rotary.

Sometimes if I'm gassy.


Oh, that is not what you meant.

I wish... if I had the room for a large compressor in my garage I would love to have it. It would be a handy tool for cleaning out the cracks and running tools.

Unfortunately not. That's where the leaf blower comes in.

What's your review on the Tornador gun is it really helpful? as far as compress air I use it for: engine, interior blow out, trim, tires for low air, wheels and lug nuts, to clean pads, and myself the best use .

Really handy for blowing out compound dust or polishing dust from the surface as you work, but I still rely on my leaf blower

No but I wish I could.

It cut my Interior detail time in half. I love it.

I have my air compressor located in the basement. I drilled a small hole in the garage wall to bring the hose into the garage. The only disadvantage is I have to run to the basement to turn it on.
