Green turbo

pbalentine · January 16, 2019

Just got the green turbo, which I really wanted to try out. At first glance it looked great(flexes like black & feels like yellow) but the edge is slightly uneven in a few spots and rounded some. I called about it and they said its a common complaint and all the green turbos have it. I mainly use turbos to clean small 1/4s, but not going to be confident the window is getting clean if the blade is dull and uneven from the get go. The blacks always have a good edge. I did get yellow way, way back that was much worsre and is the reason I never used them much.

I have one for PPF and love it for that, wouldn't even consider it for tint though. I like the blue 3M bump cards cut down for doing quarter windows.

im done using turbos. Just trashed the remaing black ones. I’ll let the green one sit in a box with the other useless tools I collect.

I've tried almost every color turbo or similar squeegee and they all suck IMO. Nothing beats the yellow

I guess thats why the yellow is the most popular. I want to get the pink clean in the hamd holder again. I tossed it and tried to break it months back, but recently tried it again and like it. Going to use that for 1/4s and ones that are real small Im not squeegeeing; just wipe and flush.

Was it the Fusion green turbo or the old style green turbo? The Fusion seem a little more consistent and keep the edge.

I've used the orange crush but kept getting a skipping type of thing on the film, even with the newest version, so i've used it for cleaning. I cut a Orange crush down to about 2" and modified one of those extended blade handles to put the orange crush in it, it worked great until i lost it

Its the regular green turbo. I only use the orange to clean too. If the pink clean outlasts the orange crush or is close to it, i may start using it on rollups instead.
