Nice set up! What did you use to mount it? I was going to mount mine but thought the trucks that held the wheels on might not be strong enough?

Nice garage btw!

Thanks Seth!

Basically replaced the four wheel bolts with longer ones and placed a sleeve between the wheel and washer on the end as shown in the picture below. Then mounted it on the wall via the hooks shown. Picked up the hose from Leslie pool Supply in St. Peters.

Thanks! A new project for me and a very good one I will ad!
On the hose, is it as flexible as the hose that is sent with it?
I'm worried it might be to hard and scratch the paint IF it accidently hits it?

It's a little on the stiff side but, i've always got enough slack to make it around the car to where it's not an issue.

Amazon has them but not always least expensive.

I have been using a Master Blaster for years, yes they are not cheap and that delayed me getting one. Once I had it wish I would have bought it sooner

. They are a must for motorcycles I have a couple. With a well maintained car you will never use a towel to dry again. I blow it dry and the go over it with a detail spray. Then my wife bought one to dry our dogs LOL.

I have the step down from the master blaster, it works really well so I can only imagine how good the master blaster is. Mine IMO is much better than a leaf blower, I think this is one of those things that until you try it you really don't get it.

I found this out... I had a power supply in my computer blow out and the Master Blaster came in handy for the "Man, I gotta clean this dust out of my computer while I am here replacing the power supply" moment. And it's great on the car too !!!

BasedSS · 02-26-2014, 07:46 PM

Look what just came in today!!!! Now, only if it wasn't 20 degrees outside I could have some fun!
