I have a blaster and use it around the tail lights, door jams and vents after using my microfiber, blow off my wheels, then touch up any additional drops with the microfiber. Cant wait for spring so I can resume my driving and cleaning!

 

I have the exact same set up as well, only on the right side of the garage door. 30' of hose as well. Funny how I did the exact same thing with the cross bracing to anchor the hanger and support the lower wheels.

 

I can't wait for warmer weather so I can leave the faucets uncovered again. My neighbors all chide me over the constant washing, waxing, wheel cone cleaning, and of course that I use my Master Blaster for drying . It's no longer my imagination, she has a deeper shine when drying with warm air than when using my micro fiber towels. I can't say for sure that it takes longer or is quicker, but I can say it dries in the seams much better and almost completely eliminates water runs. I've learned to start on the roof, then w/s, quick trip around the hood, back glass & area around spoiler (water likes to pool there), then the sides & rear area. I wash my wheels (being careful where I spray the water) after I've washed & dried Lola completely otherwise.

The Master Blaster seems to be a well made USA product that should last quite a few years. Some think it's an extravagant expense for drying a car, but the car it drys was a pretty extravagant expense so ...... One of my neighbors who has (for extra vehicles) a truck, BMW Vertte, and four motorcycles is acting interested in one.

I forgot to mention a rinsing technique that aids drying. I take the nozzle off the hose and sheet rinse the whole car immediately before drying. Try it next time and you'll notice as you sheet rinse, a much higher percentage of the water will run off the car leaving less to blow off.

 

Your C7 looks really shiny, awesome, and dry.

 

I know, right? I thought John had snuck into my garage and took that picture!

 

it might be worth it if it sold for about 50 bucks...maybe

 

I believe the original intent was to market these to the dog grooming companies. If you search you see that seems to be their primary audience. I just picked up the mounting bracket and a 30' hose so I can stop having to drag mine around the car.

 

I love my master blaster! i have the 8hp one for a few years and love using it on my cars and motorcycle! got mine on ebay for 150 bucks new because the handle was broken! I said i can make a handle,when i got it there was a new handle in the box! best deal ever

 

If you don t mind me asking where did you buy the extended hose and also my nozzle always seems to blow off the hose, how do I eliminate that?

 

The extended hose can be bought from them direct.

I got the 30' hose and wall hanging bracket from eBay. The hose is not cheap. I think I paid 79 bucks for it. You can also buy direct from Metrovac but their prices are higher.

The new hose comes with a clamp to ensure it does not come loose.

 

Way overpriced, micro fiber towels with detail spray do it for me.

 

Can the Blaster be easily dis-mounted from the wall for other uses, or are you kind of stuck at 30 feet?

 

Easily removable. The axles just slide over and hang on the wall bracket. Just lift the Blaster off the wall bracket and you are good to go.

 

Don't y'all have gas or electric leaf blowers? I've always used them and they work great.

 

There are 2 reasons I prefer the Master Blaster.

1.) It heats the air 65 degrees above ambient temperature so it not only pushes water off, it helps dry it.

2.) There is no filter on a leaf blower. If it picks up something, it will hurl it at your paint at high speed. Never a good idea.
