Like with all the other products I make or resell, I bring you the Air Force Master Blaster at over $90 off retail because I believe it’s an effective, quality product that I put into a “best in class standard”. You may be very happy with your leaf blower, water blade, or absorber, but you should read on.

All professional detailers will agree any time you touch you paint finish you add micro scratches that eventually lead to a dull finish. Of all the finishing steps, drying offers the most opportunity to damage the finish. In addition we all know about the dreaded drips from the many locations like tail lights and mirrors.

Personally, for years I have been using a combination of cotton, micro fibers, compressed air and leaf blowers. Leaf bowers are great and I am sure many of you use them. The problem is, not only are you blasting your car with unfiltered air that can contain all types of debris, the nozzle is a hard plastic that can easily scratch your car. In addition it’s difficult to maneuver the leaf blower just where you need it, like in the door jams, cowl, wheel wells.

I came upon the Air Force Master Blaster via a friend that uses it to dry all his vehicles by blow-drying them dry with high velocity heated air. If you think this is a winner on the car, you need to see it work on any motorcycle, ATV or even the family pet (yes all dog groomers use these to blow dry the dogs). In fact you will find tons of uses for the master blaster. I like blowing the mats clean instead of banging them against the tree, it leaves them fluffy.

I love the company that makes these, 70 yr old family business located in NY and the product is made in the USA and often described as bullet proof.

As a special I am bringing you the Air Force Master Blaster for only $309. Over $90 off the retail price. Please note this is a very high power system and requires a 110v 20amp outlet (which most garages have)

"There are always discussions on here about using a leaf blower to dry you car, your motorcyle, whatever. I wanted something deigned for the job at hand and also a dryer with heated air. I had always seen the Air Force One brand in my Harley magazines, so I finally took a look and found the Master Blaster. This thing puts out over 58,000fpm of heated air. It is amazing!

Well I bought one and it is unreal! Was deliveried Thrusday afternoon, so that evening I washed the Electra Glide and the 08 Coupe. I hate washing the bike as it is a bitch to dry and with all the chrome I have, water spots can not be avoided. Then the Vette has all these little places where water likes to hide.

The bike was dry in no time and I found water hiding in places on the Vette that I never knew was there before, other than the obvious mirrors and such. With the high velocity air, you can dry out the wheel wells, the grill opening, around all the lights, under & around the hood, all body seams, the rear exhaust panel, wheel rim lug nut openings, backside of wheels and on and on. With the heated air, you are not just moving the water, you are DRYING the car. Was all done in about 15 minutes and a towel never touched the car. The heated air works so well that by the time I was done, it was starting to get pretty darn warm holding onto the end of the hose. Went out to the garage this morning and there was dust on the car. Turned on the Master Blaster and in 2 min, spotless again."

Mine was delivered Thursday last. Over the weekend we drove to two get- together's in the DFW area.

Today (Sunday) it was apparent that they Verts needed to be washed - and dried.

This was the first time I've used the 'dryer' from Pipedreams - what a product it is

Both Verts were washed and dried in less than two hours (total).

This included the engine compartments, as well as vacuuming the interior and putting the Verts into the garage and covering them

Comes mounted on wheels so you can roll it around, 12ft power cord, 10 ft air hose and accessory nozzle kit. There are 2 motors that you can turn on/off independently to regulate the amount of air flow you want.

Well, that is my review. I will never use another towel to dry a vehicle again!

Now, I didnt use any of the nozzles, so I still need to experiment with those. It might be me, but the car just looked cleaner!!

I give this product a 5 star rating *****

She quickly grabbed it out of my hand and rolled it over to the outside patio table and comenced blowing it off

I can tell this thing is going to work reallly well drying the car's and the bike and it's made in the USA to boot

Thanks Ed

I'm running it on a 15 amp circuit and have had no problems by starting the second motor after the first is at full speed. Use a short heavy gauge extension cord, if you need one, to avoid a voltage drop that could affect the life of the motors.

Many thanks to Ed for making this product available at such an attractive price.

Here is a video using the much smaller unit. I am selling the Master Blaster (twice the power), designed more for cars and twice the power

My 220mph $79 leaf blower has been working fine. If the MB cost around $130 I'd probably get something like it.
I also have a $60 leaf blower and honestly there is no comparison. Master Blaster is a tool designed for the job. To expect a tool of this performance and quality made in the USA for $130 just is not never going to happen, in this case you get what you pay for.

Ed,

You've given the major reasons for spending a little more money for this unit to which I agree.

Many people seem to ignore that spending a little money for the benefits of this product outweigh the cost of a new paint job

We have a good friend in the neighborhood that has a $600,000 car - I'll give you two guesses as to what he uses to dry it (and the one of the guesses doesn't count).

To repaint his ride the cost is in excess of $25,000 - he is a big proponent of this product - even let me borrow it on occasion. I was very impressed with the ease and functionality

I'll take one (ordered) - priced right

That looks just like the inflator that we use at the fire department to inflate our inflatable haz-mat decon tent from Zumro.

And yes they put out alot of air

If anyone is using a gas blower on their car, they don't deserve a nice car Mine is an electric blower.

I guess if I had more disposable income, I would buy something like this. I do agree it's a step up from a regular electric blower... being that it's filtered, smaller, and a little quieter.

But I can also blow leaves with my car dryer

I agree it is somewhat expensive, BUT for how much we wash our cars - it could be well worth it

Hmmm.....nice product promotion. quality. The appearance is cool too, but consider a flame paint job . The difference I see between leaf blower and the blaster is that the blaster's air is heated...hence it's not only air, but evaporation. For what we spend on our cars, the price isn't really that bad....especially since it's so compact.

And you are not doing the rubbing with a Chamois and compromising the wax job...one "dry" at a time.

I'm impressed and don't think the price is too far off-base.

Thanks, at this price they have been selling very well. I like dealing with quality products. Sometimes quality costs. I realize other like what they use, this product changed my drying methods for the better and the longer I have it, the more I find it can do. It will dry the family pet, a wet floor, blow out pool lines and dust the car off
