California waterblade also, then microfiber towels after with Zaino

[Dr. Vette]

Chamois - works great.

I just became a dealer in what I believe is the ultimate solution. This product has been around for many years mainly in the motorcycle world. Many including me use a combo of compressed air, leaf blowers and towels. Every time you touch your paint you cause scratches, this allows you to dry, dust, blow out the mats, get water out from the tail lights / mirrors / rims / marker lights and in places you can't reach line door jams .


This offers the best (not the cheapest solution IMO and many others that have commented on the great results), The company is 70yrs old, it's made in the use and almost indistructable.

I am offering some very very low pricing on these and I think you will find many uses for this product.

They are not on my site yet so email me.

"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."

I will be able to take orders soon and my pricing will beat amazons and have free shipping. Honestly I don't get a great discount, it's more about trying to give the members a good deal on a great product. The company has a great history (70yrs old and always made in the USA).

Almost the same, sans blower, I use the Turtle Wax squeegee, then the "Absorber."

[extents]

are THE best ways IMO. At least with the Jelly blade if it falls out of your hand it is all silicone, so no damage at all like the original water blade. Plus it is even more flexible. Available at your local automotive store.

Don't mean to bash the promotion of the Master Blaster, but I too thought it would totally rock. I sent it back after only one use. You would think double the power of the original Blaster would clean a car in no time. Sorry, but no such thing. I used it on my Vette and it took FOREVER to get the water off.

Warm air is fine, but does not speed up drying time. It is NOT a high horsepower blower. A leaf blower has much more velocity to get the job done, so stick with your garden tools.

Keep it simple. Jelley blade removes 75% of water very quickly, followed by a synthetic chamois like the Absorber the car is dry in no time.

Again, sorry. Don't mean to rip apart the old Master Blaster, but it is much better suited for motorcycles, which is it's original design anyway.

Blower then microfiber towel

[bluemax542]

Thanks

I will try some of the ideas.

.

Sounds like you experience contradicts my experience and just about all the others I have read on the forum about the master blaster, not sure you had the master blaster, but maybe the blaster which can be under powered for cars.

That's the ticket!!

[GenuineSurprize]

i go on the expressway and reach about 140, then i turn around and do the same. that usually gets my car nice and dry!!!!!

[ALVetteFan]

CF spotless for washing and rinsing, blower, microfiber towels.

[JimTN]

None of the above. I don't dry my C6. The last cycle of the coin-operated do-it-yourself car wash I use is a spotless rinse.

I just park it and let it dry itself. Have never had a problem with water spots. My car does get 3 coats of Zaino a year.

I've got a cordless blower I use on occasion to get rid of the pollen in the spring, since it sits in a carport instead of a garage.

Glad I ordered the blade. For that price, I'll give it a shot.
