Tips or tricks on drying?

[Andrew@ToyMotorsports]

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks on the best way to dry mirrors and moldings. Where I detail my customers vehicles and even my own I do have access to air. However the lines are always full of water even after purging them so I just avoid using it. Nothing ruins my day more then water that keeps seeping out from under the mirrors or molding. Please share any tips some of you guys have that would not include the use of forced air. Thanks in advance.

The Metro Master Blaster is Metro's most powerful blower/dryer at 8hp! Blow dry your motorcycle & your vehicle with this big blower.

I think its absolutely silly to spend $340 for the purpose of drying crevices and mirrors. I'd consider spending $50 for a leaf blower. Or i'd just do what i do and dry like normal and re-wipe after doing a lap around the parking lot.

I agree.

OP, go down to your local home improvement store and pick up the mentioned leaf blower. I use one all the time.

Now if you have the money to spend on a super nice blower/dryer, then by all means do so.

Put in a moisture trap or filter. Drain your tank every few days, preferably every night.

I've thought about pulling the trigger on a master blaster. It's not just a tool to dry with, you can also air purge interiors much better than you can with compressed air, because it is a much larger volume of air.

The master blaster blows way more air than any leaf blower I know of.

Thanks for the advice I'll def. look into the leaf blower. I don't currently have the capital to get one of those other blowers. I do my work at my full time job they have multiple industrial size tanks lol I'm not going to even try and figure out which one goes where or tamper with them in anyway.

It really depends on your volume of business and the justification factor. Personally I use the Metro master blaster to dry interiors. Once it runs for a minute or so the air blows warm which works great for drying upholstery and carpets. I choose it over air.

I bought me a leaf blower for $25.00 with free shipping.
Does all I ask of it.
First I blow everything off then use my MF drying towel then come again with the blower to make sure no water is left behind,works great for me.

I don't have much volume at the moment. I've been detailing for about almost two years now. I've just recently decided to get serious about it in the past few months. I've been building up my clientele still have a few whose cars I've been doing on the regular for the past two years. But not enough to justify making huge purchases right now. But I really appreciate all of the input it was all helpful and I can't thank you guys enough for taking time out of your lives to educate me on some different options.
