What I didn't mention previously is I have a mitt full of points from a Harley credit card for use at a HD dealer. I was originally going to flog them to someone at work cheap since I no longer have any Harleys. HD carries the MB Side Kick and I won't have to add any $$$ to my coupons to get one. I want ONLY this MB model since I don't want to have to drag anything larger around (including a leaf blower)
I'm really looking to find out if this MB is powerful enough to do the job.
I did see on You Tube that there were any number of people, Detailing guys included, that use the Side Kick, so I figure that counts for something.
I wouldn't be using it full time like a pro would so as long as the air volume is adequate to do the job I figure I'm good to go.

Thanks

Here's the deal. On a BIKE, that thing is fine. That's why they sell them at your Harley dealer. On a car, that thing is overpriced and not worth the money. If you have a choice between losing your money or buying that thing then go ahead and get it but I wouldn't waste my time with it. I've used one so I speak from an opinion of EXPERIENCE and not just my opinion. As it is, it takes the Master Blaster and a leaf blower a minute to get ALL the water out of your car's cracks and crevices. You'll be blowing for a while with that thing. Forget about drying the entire car with it, you may as well use a towel.
