CAR Dryers

[Prange]

I use my 80v cordless leaf blower. A bit ungainly to use, but works. Especially in the cracks and crevices. Other than a blower, there's really no other way to dry an intricate honeycomb grille.

I have a Sidekick, but it's just easier to use the cordless.

Ego 580 or 650 on a coated car has the water flying off the panels. After this I go around the car with whatever drying aid I am using and that takes care of any leftover water the blower didn’t get.

I don’t like the dedicated blowers because of the hose and cord. Having to drag all of the cords and hoses around in the driveway is to much hassle for me.

I have the M37 Turbo dryer and love it! Had it now probably 2 years or so.

One thing I learned the hard way is to have a dedicated vehicle blower and don't use what you use for lawn or "dirty" service. I ended up blowing dirt, lawn dust or whatever got into my lawn blower all over my freshly washed BMW about 3-4 years ago. In my life that makes the list of Only Happening Once!

I hung my Master Blaster on the wall next to the garage door and have 3 extensions to reach the vehicles in the driveway.

Picture turned sideways on me?

I have an Ego 650 and a Big Boi Mini+. I use the Ego every wash, love how I can get into mirrors, nooks, etc with no cord. I do like the warm air of the Big Boi going into the colder months.

Nice set up, John U!

I hear ya, Silly.

being able to carry it is much easier than dragging a long hose around and also worrying about the blower/unit tipping over (it happens). i had a master blaster and sold it many years ago. if the weather permits (not too sunny and/or hot) i'll use the blower, but if drying has to be done quickly using the PFM is much faster. although, i'll still use it to blow water out of the cracks & crevices once the main drying has been done...

[Paul A.]

Absolutely on the PFM! I use that 1st and then blow wheels, tires and wells. Then all seams, door handles, rear view mirrors etc.

I even open the doors, trunk and hood and blow sills and all lid drip channels!

I have been using a dedicated blower/dryer for about a year now and would not be without it now. Previously, I was using a job site / leaf blower but I prefer the more focused flow of the dedicated dryer.







Any wax/sealant/coating will work for this type of drying. tI can take a bit to learn how to direct water off the car and not just push it around. It is debatable if this drying method is any quicker than just using a towel, for me its the ability to drive water out of mirrors, door jambs, emblems, grill and wheels. Also valuable for getting the water from under the spoilers of my Falcon's.

Are your cars coated? Blowing it when coated vs wax or sealant makes it alot faster for me....
