Car dryer

Can the Metro Blaster Sidekick be used for drying whole cars, or would I need one of the more expensive dryers?

Can it dry entire cars? Sure... is it the most efficient? Nope.

You need a more expensive one. By the time you are done, most of it will have air dried - especially if working outside.

I use a regualr leaf blower, as some others on this forum do as well. It does a very decent job of getting rid of the water, even in tight places. I have been using this method for years...my neighbors think I'm nuts, but then again, all of my vehicles look way better than what they are driving. My 2 cents.

I've recently started to use my toro electric leaf blower, and it works great, thanks to this great forum:)

I use mine to blow water out of mirrors and door handles etc from customer cars.I use waffle weave towel to dry the body. I think it's a great tool and very well crafted too. Oh yeah and it's quick at drying wheels!

your gonna want the MasterBlaster, but either "can" be used.

I just used a leaf blower today to dry my mustang and all I can say Is wow! It worked so well there was hardly any water to use my ww on. Going to be doing this every time now.

Masterblaster all the way. Its sorta like an electric garage door. Once you try one, you can't not have one!

This reminds me I really need to get someone to install a garage door opener for me. Really would like it.

Flooding and leaf blower are my preferred method. The sheeting action of flooding removes a lot of water from the panels and the leaf blower quickly gets rid of the rest. Very little left on the paint which reduces the need to touch the paint with towels (read a lot less marring and micro scratches). Extremely important when you are just doing maintenance washes. Not as important if you are polishing but still important. Remember the goal is to touch the paint as little as possible.

Flooding is always a plus when it can be used. I do this every time to clients cars I have waxed. But if their is no wax on the vehicle than its pointless imo.

I've been using a leaf blower to dry for years, but always worried about scratching the car with the blower tube and felt I didn't have the control to put the air where needed so made this adaptation for a few bucks..

Have you tried a Makita 18v blower? Heard of some detailers here in Hawaii using this it has a rubber nose so not to harm surfaces. I think on High it lasts like 20 min. With NiCads with Li ones longer. I've used a leaf blower myself sometimes.
