blower?

[Ridebyshootings]

Hello, my bike has not been dirty enought for a blower as of yet. Im thinking of asking for one for Christmas. What have your experiences with one? Is it worth the $$ for one. I have used the compressor turned way down to about 25lb. to blow off some dust before detailing. Thanks! Andrew

air compressors have a habit of spitting small amounts of oil in the air. I would look to a dedicated leaf blower at some point.

To me the Black Baron (Metro) is one of the must haves of bike detailing.

Leaf blower is the way to go!

thanks for the advice. I have a pretty good heated dryer system that I use to spray with my hvlp paint gun and it works well. Will look into the black baron deal! Andrew

if you add a filter that shoudnt happen...

by the way i would assume a shop vac (your brand of choice) with a concentrated nozzle would blow water off the bike.....if that what your looking for.....

i personal dont wash motorcycle i use certain product like onr or other product like this to clean and so forth again i havent detailed many but they mainly have been sportbike not cruiser i would still do the same method just you have to polish more.....

I use compressed air. Have not had the oil spitting issue mentioned. I do not blow off water except where necessary (where I can't fit a small towel to dry it by hand).
