At the latest when spring is approaching, it is time for a thorough cleaning of the car. You can get rid of the worst here with a cloth and a vacuum cleaner. But if you want to clean your car down to the pores so that it looks like new again, you can hardly avoid a compressed air cleaning gun (also: Tornado Gun or Tornado Cleaner). Because these small compressed air guns clean down to the last corner of your car.
This is how a cleaning gun works
As the name suggests, a compressed air cleaning gun is operated with compressed air via a compressor. The gun itself consists of a container with cleaning agent and a funnel that has a hose with a nozzle in the middle.
As soon as you activate the gun, the air mixes with the cleaning agent and the hose in the funnel begins to rotate, causing the air and cleaning agent to be swirled around (hence the term Tornado Gun) and the dirt is not blown but rather sucked out.
The cleaning gun is therefore very suitable for upholstery, air vents, door shelves, the engine compartment and generally hard-to-reach places. After cleaning an area with Tornado Cleaner, it’s a good idea to wipe the area again with a rag. The compressed air cleaning gun, on the other hand, is less suitable for smooth, hard surfaces.
Notice: Make sure that the cleaner is also suitable for the intended materials. Do not spray the gun on electronic components such as the radio.

Comparison instead of test: What’s the difference?
For this comparison, a CHIP specialist editor examined test reports from other publications as well as the most popular offers (“best sellers”) and customer opinions from online retailers. Based on this we made the product selection. When selecting the top devices, we focus on models with more than four stars and a reasonably high number of reviews. We have read a selection of customer reviews and selected devices that, based on our professional assessment, meet the needs of the users. The products have not been tested in the CHIP test center.
All products that the CHIP test center had in the laboratory can be found in this list of the best. Products that have also been tested by our cooperation partners can be found in our test & purchase advice and in our consumer portal.
