Forced air car dryers? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Anyone have or ever use one of those Master Blaster Car Dryers? Having black vehicles I'm looking at alternatives for drying. I use absorbers and they work great but over time everything leaves the very fine spider web look in the sun. Any help would be great!

Those "very fine webs" are in the clearcoat and can be rubbed out.

I often use a garden Leaf Blower (electric), takes out all minor water leaks in cracks, mirrors, bumbpers etc...

I dry mine with a leaf blower and it works absolutely awesome and no towels ever needed.

...just be careful most gasoline leaf blowers now blow their exhaust through the nozzle. I personnally do not want 50:1 exhaust directed at my paint/Zaino.

Electric leaf blowers are not inflicted with this flaw.

Throw the absorber away...get these and be sure to use the two bucket wash method...esp on a black car and yes the leaf blower will help..

Some people use a touchless car wash and then wipe the car down...a no-no..it is still dirty

10 4. I ordered the polishing kit from Griots Garage and plan on practicing on my Black Xterra to see if I am capable of not swirling the paint before I touch my baby. It's got the porter cable orbital polisher how easy is it to screw up your paint with these?

my shop vac the top comes off and doubles as a blower, you stuff the cone attachment on the discharge end and it is quite powerful. i use this alot to dry my car then use terrycloth old bath towels to finish it off. the shop vac i have is a 6hp model

Funny you should post this. I got my Master Blaster 4.0 a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. It won't/can't blow all the water off, it turns some of the water into fine drops but after I hit it, all I do is blot dry with a drying towel and it works great. Highly recommend it.

That's good to know. I hadn't thought about that with mine but then again, I haven't adopted using a leaf blower yet for drying off my Camaro.
