    What method do you use for water left after washing

    What methods to you guys, enthusiast and professional, use for getting the left over water trapped in mirrors, gas doors, etc. I have a small blower i got from CG but sometimes im lazy and will drive the car a mile or so to blow the water out.

    Re: What method do you use for water left after washing

    whenever I get lazy I pay for it the next day when I see droplet runs from my reflectors, gas cap, under the side mirrors etc...

    now I leave my metro sidekick and a short extension cord in the trunk so I have no excuse to be lazy
    I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

    Get yourself a Master Blaster for your Infiniti. There are so many places where the water likes to hide on our cars. Your coupe probably has its own special spots in the rear compared to my sedan, but I know the drips we've got. The mirrors that keep on dripping down the doors, lol! My advice is don't screw around, just get a masterblaster. Can buy an AG gift certificate until friday to save $35. Make sure to use a free shipping code.

    Anybody buying a new car should just buy a master blaster to go along with it. IMO anybody who can afford a new car can afford a master blaster at the same time. Situations may change later, but when you're plunking down the bucks for a new ride, that's the perfect time to figure in the master blaster.

    Shop vac that detaches to be a leaf blower. Best detailing friend ever, since I already need it plugged in for doing carpets, I just quick disconnect it from the base and put the blower nozzle on it. Granted I have yet to use a master blaster, this vac has gotten its money's worth in use easily the first summer I had it.
