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

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.

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!

I was able to apply tire dressing and polish my wheels immediately after the wash without having water still on the tires or dripping everywhere on my rims. 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!!

It did a great job all over the car and the wheels as well. Now every time I wash the vettes I will blow dry them dry.... Great Product....

I un-packed it while the spousal unit kind of chuckled and I took it out on the back deck and plugged it in, fired up both fans and knocked on the door to motion the spousal unit out to see this thing. 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

The two things I did find that makes the blaster "blow away" (Im on a roll today, forgive me) my old leaf blower meathod is:

1) The addition of heated, filtered air. The combination of heat and a jet like stream of powerful air flow made single pass drying a reality.

2) Having the hose and interchangable nossles allowed me to easily blow the water out of the rotor holes and vanes in seconds. No more rust deposit in the inside of the rims.

Wonderful product but I live 3 blocks from the highway, after the wash I jump on the highway and drive 3 miles to the first exit and then spin around and come back. I had fun and the car is dry!
