I always had a concern about using the Master Blaster where there was water on the ground since it does run off something called electricity. The Master Blaster also lacks some mobility since it does not have swivel wheels.

The primary goal was to keep the MB and the electrical connections away from water.

Parts needed:
1. Metro Master Blaster
2. Meguiar's Detailing Cart (or anything similar, already had)
3. Husky 12 Gauge 25 ft extension cord (or equivalent)

With this, I can generally drag the cart around by hose if properly tightened without much exposure of tipping over. I do remove the larger soft side container on top shelf so it easier to move.

Tucked away in the garage

The MB is stored on the cart when not in use. The hose has been removed and stored on a wall. It is too stiff to keep on the cart. Note extension cord wrapped on cart handle.

The extension cord is wrapped around the handle of the cart when not in use.

Nice thread Al and nice pictures.

I do the same thing with the MasterBlaster here at Autogeek, that is place it on a secondary detailing cart. This also gives a person shelf storage for brushes, microfiber towels, etc, the things you also need when using the MasterBlaster.

You could zip-tie the cord onto the cart handle, so it doesn't get on the way of the wheels.

I often wondered what the MB would be like with swivel casters ... this would be another great choice.
