    Blower: DP Turbo Car Dryer or Metro Commander?

    Thinking of adding a car dryer to my list of tools/toys to speed the drying process.

    Any advice for choosing between the DP Turbo Dryer and the Metro Air Force Commander?

    I'm one of the few people here that actually owned a Commander. It was OK for most things, but not as good as the Master Blaster. Honestly, I don't even use the Master Blaster anymore.

    Instead of this, I just use DI water and a Metro Sidekick. The MB is a real PIA to drag around and store.

    Just rinse the car with DI water and come back in a few hours and use a QD. No real drying to do.

    Re: Blower: DP Turbo Car Dryer or Metro Commander?

    I've never used the Metro Commander but have both the Metro Master Blaster 8HP and the DP Turbo Car Dryer. I haven't used the DP Turbo Car Dryer to dry a car yet (I just got it a few days ago) but did use it to blow leaves off my drive way!

    Don't ask why I got both, I still don't know why I got both. Haha. The only downside to the Master Blaster 8HP is the requirement of a 20amp breaker. If you do have 20amp and the funds then the Master Blaster is better.

    However, the DP Turbo Dryer is also a very capable dryer (based from my quick test of blowing leaves. You won't be disappointed with it.

    I modified my masterblaster. I took the casters off and mounted it on a backpack blower harness. Shortened the hose and put a 50 foot cord on. Installed a 20 amp service outlet with a switch to eliminate trying switching on and off while it's on my back. For our shop it works very well.
