Now I understand the Q. No the vac n blo is for dusting and vacuuming, not drying the car

I got mine today so I just had to wash the wife's vette... Drying the vette was easy... And to top it off I was getting water out of places I never knew water rested in... 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....

Some of the reviews comming in. My price is $100-$120 less than you will find any any car car store

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!!

I give this product a 5 star rating *****

Sale is still on
I think customers are quickly understanding the phrase "the right tool for the right job" Like anything else you can use just about anything to do anything, you could dry your car with the kitchen dish towel. I have used leaf blowers, they work, they are just not the best tool for the job. LINK

The "high priced fancy blowers" work beyond expetation, customers are not just happy they are BLOWN AWAY, but to each is own, leaf blowers do the job also.

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!

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

Ok, now that's out of the way I can't tell you how powerful this thing is. It does an amazing job, and if you're on the fence thinking about one, DO IT.. This thing blows my leaf blower away, no pun intended.. My wife was sitting 12' away from me on the other side of my deck when I fired it over.. I was pointing it in her direction when I hit the second switch and, let's just say she wasn't too happy with the mess it made of her hair!!

I can't wait to try it out on my car -- IF IT EVER STOPS RAINING!!!!!!!

Anyways, Pipedreams, THANK YOU for being such an honest vendor

And I'm telling you, if you've got a set of hard-to-dry wheels THIS IS THE THING FOR YOU.. It made my CCW's look incredible after about 30 seconds of drying time!!!!!

Excellent product. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a professional detail everytime you wash.

NICE!
