Alternative to Master Blaster

**larryt1026** · 03-24-2012, 08:46 PM

So I just detailed my new car for the first time today using the two bucket method and using a large premium drying microfiber towel to dry. The two bucket system worked well and I'm glad I learned it here

. However, I very much disliked drying with the microfiber towel. I was about to purchase the Master Blaster but then realized I do not have an outlet to connect to. (I live in an apartment complex and their car wash area has no outlets).

Instead, I've been looking at electric/cordless leaf blowers. Would that be a good alternative? Thanks for the help!!

Get a power inverter for your car and plug the leaf blower in..

Well they sell cordless ones for the same price..like the one I have linked above and it saves the trouble of doing that. However, if the inverter will work with the Master Blaster..that would be awesome. But from what I've researched, the Master Blaster needs a lot of power (?)

I dont think an inverter will power a MB. The Makita Cordless may be a good option.

I was going to suggest a gas powered leaf blower but the Air Wand Al's suggesting looks interesting as well.....

If you do decide on the power inverter me sure it's specs match those of the leaf blower you intend to use.

Has anyone personally tried the airwand?

This is what I have. It's small and super freaking powerful. I've use bulky leaf blowers and exhaust from giant shop vacs but this is king. You won't believe it until you try it. Best price too.
