I was wondering if anyone has this and how it really works. It looks interesting, but I would like to get some real life testimonials before commiting to a purchase of it.

I works pretty well, and it really does not wet the area that you clean too much. The biggest issue that you will run into is that you need to have the replacement parts for the inner tubing that spins. That seems to be the main issue with it that I have seen.



Personally I think that if you have the extra change, a steamer is much wiser investment. However, if you need something to get you thorough for now then this fits the bill.

Pretty neat looking tool. I`m be interested to see what other users have to say.

Judging by how it works, I`m sure this could cut my time down quite a bit.

I had the opportunity to use one at another local detail shop. It is actually pretty cool. Compressed air + APC = great interior nook & cranny cleaning. I`d say it`s worth picking up if you have an air compressor.

I just sold the one I had after about 3 or 4 uses. Its pretty cool the way it works and I`m sure after awhile you can get better working with it. I can do the same work in the same time without it. The person I sold it to, loves it.

If you have an air compressor it is a pretty spiffy tool. Below is a link to a review I wrote a while back:

Since I wrote that I have tried it with an ONR mixture and it works pretty well. I bought mine from Danase because of his great customer service:

He used to sell empty jars with lids that come in handy to switch to a different mix, but his site just switched to a new format and I`m not sure if he still sells those.

I ordered one this afternoon, so when it comes in, I will let you guys know what I think of it.
