Compressed Air or Leaf Blower?
anyone use Compressed air compaired to the leaf blower? pros? cons?
|
compressed air comes out in a much smaller spray than a leaf blower, and can have some oil in the air if its not filtered.
I have this, but unfortunately, it draws too many amps and I can only use one of the two forced air heaters in it. One day I will replace the 15A breaker with a 20A one: Air Force Master Blaster Car Dryer |
You can use a masterblaster, but to me it's not worth the money, unless you wash a lot of motorcycles.
In my opinion you don't want to completely blow dry the car, just blow the water off, otherwise water residue will dry up on your paint. An electric leaf blower works great after sheeting the water. Blow all the water out of any holes and the main water from the paint. Then wipe with a waffle weave MF towel and finish with some QD.

How did I know I was going to see you in this thread ;)
I wasn't disputing that the blaster does a better job. I was just saying that at $309 vs $20 it's not worth the money to a lot of people. Of course it's still to some, however I would say their goal for it is convenience while getting flawless paint. As I can guarantee that not using it can still get you flawless paint. Quote:
I was saying you want to blow the water of your paint not make it evaporate (blow drying: for lack of a better explanation let's call it the hair dryer effect). As evaporation leaves behind residue... I didn't say you don't want to get your car completely dry.. I think to most people, finances aren't the issue, it's just not worth it to most. That's a difference...(to me at least) |
I use my shop vac in blower mode. Works great. :D

Why not use a air compressor? I already have a very good one (used for woodwork nailing) and have different air nozzles that different in pressure.
