The metrovac master blaster is good but pricey.

I rarely need to use a dryer as I just let it air dry after using the di vessel, however if it do, I just use the dogs pet dryer 😂

Cheers, never considered one till my mate sealed my new motor & it only took ten mins to be bone dry. Got all the hidden annoying water traps that streak all over when you drive off.
He has offered me his for £100 ( this fair price?) he wants a more powerful one, his is compact ‘Air Force’ sits on little rubber feet.

I don't know much about them but our pet dryer was about £30 second hand. Woman had used it on her dog and was petrified of it so sold it on. You can get them new for less than £50.

Its 2800w which I think is same as the one you've mentioned. I don't see what that one does that a pet dryer doesn't do tbh. Someone may correct me there if I'm wrong?

Do they need to blow hot air?

Otherwise a decent air compressor would do the job and be useful for other things.

The big boi is a proper dryer for cars. Okay you can use a leaf blower but essentially anything below the big boi one has compromises so just buy smart!

The metrovac offers a great value for power.

I've got a metrovac Vac 'n blo, not as powerful as the master blaster but plenty of power for blowing out water from nooks and crannies.

Pro for the metrovac is that its a combi unit with all the little attachments for car vacuuming.

Only downside is the high price really.

Just bought a pet dryer from eBay. Gave up after spending 10 minutes chasing water all over the other half’s car and switched back to my Klin towel. Dry in 5 minutes.

Great for wheels and water traps but fairly pointless unless you add a ceramic booster every week as cQuartz isn’t massively slippery/slick. Her car remains swirl free after almost 5 months and regular 2 bucket washing.

Mates into the whole detailing scene & used to have the small black air force I found it always fell over & hose was too short.
This is very stable, hose expands in length when running & returns once off.
Fully variable speed, with heat if needed, long lead & spare O ring seal & two different jet ends.
3 year warranty which is a bonus, quality bit of kit for the money.
