How To Dry Car With Master Blaster?
I recently purchased the Master Blaster and I noticed on a couple of black cars in which I used the MB that some small water spots remained after the car was dry. It appears that the small water spots were caused by the warm air coming from the hose of the MB and also perhaps from not getting to the area quick enough with the MB. The water spots were removed after using a damp waffle weave towel over the area.
I really like the MB but it seems that I first need to remove most of the water first with a proper towel or go over the car with a proper towel afterwards. I was hoping to be able to use the MB only for drying the car.
Any advice on how to properly use the MB for drying cars?

Have you tried a technique called sheeting? You might want to check it out. I always "sheet" my car and then dry it. Makes drying 10x quicker.

Yes you must first sheet the water, then use a drying towel for the majority of the water, then finally break out the master blaster for the cracks and the rest of the water. Your final wipedown will remove any streaks or spots.
Drying is a pain in the ass, my least favorite part of detailing. Especially a black car...

I just dry whole car with the blaster and there will always be a few drops of water left just blot dry done.

+100 on that^^! Thank goodness for drying aids and final spritzers like BFPS. Life savers on black cars.

The point of the master blaster is not to use a towel to dry the car. I never had a problem drying a black car using the master blaster and when drying a black car the less you touch it the better.

You could possibly have very hard water with a lot of minerals in it.

Hi Frank,
The way you use the Master Blaster to dry a car is to,
First, have a good coat of wax, sealant or a coating on the finish. You want to make the water NOT want to be on the car in the first place.
Second, have a clean, soft Guzzler Waffle Weave drying towel, the small size works good), and hold it in front of the air blast. The absorbent cloth will capture the water being blown off the car and this is key... you'll spend less time blowing water all over the car.
Make sense?
And guess what... you'll see this technique on My Classic Car as I demonstrate this technique on this car...

I own a black car, I use my leaf blower but still it leaves behind water spots, I don't worry about it much, I just follow with a QD
That's part of owning a black car, every single thing shows up, drives me nuts until I see how it looks after a good waxing
When we bought it I wanted the white RAV but noooooooo,the wife had to get the black one, she said "you'll take care of it"
