What do you think about using a car dryer instead of cloths?

Hi Stuart I use the master blaster side kick. Small light and packs a punch. Great for all the window seals and door mirror crevasse mate.

That Master Blaster looks good.Is the air warm enough to dry it?

 

Has anyone tried this one from Makita?, Only £55 quid and if you have any Makita 18v tools you can use their battery.

I have the one down from the master blaster. The sidekick. This is okay at getting some of the hard to reach areas of water off the car but it won’t sheet off the car to make it bone dry.

It’s warm and filtered and does dry it quite well but probably not as quick as the big master blaster

A lot of people use pet dryers, they're about £60.

I used to hate the drips from the wing mirrors leaving a mark all the way down the door panel. That looks ideal, I never knew people used them

I did look at a pet dryer but the bigger one as 1.5hp and wasnt filtered air. This looks a great so pretty sure I’m going to get one and as I’ve already got a decent Karcher, I only need a snow gun.

Don't know about you mate, but I still use a chamois. Electric dryers ffs whatever next lol.

Micro fibre I use , but I make sure I get all the drips off the roof , dont want it being unstable

Instead of jet washing as a final rinse, just use the open ended hose pipe, you’ll find water will sheet off better leaving less to dry off.

I guess if you have between 4 and 8 hp of warm air blowing the water off, the filters stop you hitting the paintwork with any bits sucked through the intake. I’m working on drying it quicker, you can’t make accidental scratches if you don’t touch it and not more streaks running out of gaps.
My current wheels are the worst thing for holding water and forever get streaks when I drive off.

T800 - good idea with the hose.

Roy - I knew you would think of that and the added weight of course. :-)

Leaf blower cheaper option

Not everyone has Kent clean air

[RS777]

After using this a couple of times I would say the best part is using t on the mirrors, wheels and front grill. Funny enough I did think of a leaf blower originally and on another forum it was mentioned they have the potential to intake bits and fire them at your car. That did it for me.

To be honest for normal washing I’d say filtered water is probably the best option, especially where I am with the hard water.

Master blaster is epic. Thought it a bit of a gimmick before checking one out. Best bit of kit I have for keeping the RS clean. Also helps stop the brakes sticking on and going rusty.

Highly recommended. Selectable 4 and 8 hp, warm and filtered air.
