Ive often contemplated summat along these lines but wouldn't b prepared to spend much more then £30 tbh

My local garage car wash blow dries the car washes the wheels even waxes it. All for the princely sum of £3-50 bargain

If you want to be really pedantic a leaf blower is unfiltered so therefore may pick up small dust particles and blow them over your paint, whereas a dryer is filtered. Not that it makes a massive difference but some of the really anal anaroaks would crucify you for a leaf blower lol

I have a black baron. Its a great job and we use it everyday

Petrol leaf blower should be filtered

I used to use a small leaf blower and fitted a filter in it ..it worked great but santa came along one night and left the pet dryer which is brill.

 

[euge07]

It would be for in round the wing mirrors and grills and wheels etc, wouldnt need it for the full car.

Surely a wee leaf blower after the odd wash, filter or no, is just a light puff compared to barrelling down a busy motorway every day... Lol

Yeah I got the side kick - its a great piece of kit however I wouldn't use it to dry the whole car

Did it once on the S4 and it took forever but it is great for getting water out from under the trims and door shuts that you never seem to get when you are finished

I tend now to sheet the car with normal water pressure, maybe give it a quick blast with the side kick, dab it with a towel then finish off with the side kick

Money well spent IMO

Where did you buy from? thanks

@euge07 from cleanyourcar

 

[big_pete]

I would say spend more money on a more powerful one. We dry cars entirely with them. Drying can after cause as much damage to the paint as poor washing so this eliminates the risk.

If you are using a towel make sure you pat dry it rather then pulling the towel across it

 

[O.C.D]

Pet dryer does the same...maybe not as portable as the side kick.

 

[Boydie]

Yeah, if I could have afforded a black baron or whatever you call it I would but would never have seen the return on one. The side kick IMO is great for personal use

 

[euge07]

I think i will go for one of the pet dryers, they get good reviews on detailing world, I would just like it for the wheels and gaps etc
cheers
