Master Blaster Sidekick Unit..Thoughts?
I already have a shop vac I use for vacuuming so, all I really need is the blower. This item looks to be perfect fit and less than the others...so, it fits my bill. Anyone use? Thoughts?

I have the leaf blower too...but, this seems to be so much easier to use..I seem to come close to the car when blowing it off with the leaf blower. Just got it so, the first few times with my other car..I was not careful enough..I guess.

I actually did travel with a leaf blower..one time but, it is kind of bulky. Not to big just akward....and the other car has a much bigger trunk so, size would be a concern in the vette.

Actually I would like not to but, my biggest issue is I want to dry the car AT the pay washer place. I am in apartment with no hose hook up...at least for now. So..I wanted this small one to take to the pay wash..bay. I'll wash the car and then plug this into an inverter into the cig lighter and blow dry the car there without having to touch it. I worry about drying with the MF Waffleweave. I have them..and the Dodo Juice time to dry and it works okay...just less touching the better til I QD and start teh detail procedure.

Wow, didn't realize you lived in an apartment
. I guess the master blaster may be a good option as it takes up less space than a leaf blower.When I was growing up I too lived in apartments and still washed my cars by running a hose out of the basement laundry room. The other option you have is using ONR which is an awesome product for rinseless car washing
....I would stay away from the pay washes.

I gotta seriously suggest you try Optimums No Rinse or Ultima Rinseless Wash, your gonna be much more pleased and wont even really need a blower. Take the leap of faith, these products revolutionize washing in restricted areas and a must-have for apartment life.

Um...any detail classes in this general area I could attend for a good learning of ONR, polishing, etc.?
It's not that I don't know...I just really don't want to hurt my new baby!

Are you joking? I ordered one from amazon and sent it back the same day, good for little more then dusting and getting some of the water out of the tail lights.

The rinseless washes are quite easy. You need one (or two) buckets. You mix in with clear water in one bucket and use a thick soft towel with some knap. I prefer to rinse towel in clean water and then back in bucket with ONR. I keep a Grit Gard in both but thats personal preference. Its quite lubricated and really easy to use. Just wipe in straight lines and clean out towel often.

No classes that I am aware of, but you can track thru our forum with Mike Phillips.
