Hi. Does anyone use a dryer to dry car after a wash? If so, and they are worth using, any recommendations for a good reasonably priced one?
Would prefer a handheld one I think, and preferably not too noisy for the neighbours Thanks

Next time I see a cheap Ryobi cordless(*) left bower in a sale I'll get one and turn it into a sawn-off! Perfect for drying the car. Probably put something soft around any parts that might accidentally clonk the car, too.
(*) I already have loads of other Ryobi tools, batteries, chargers, etc. |

I've got one of these, the BlowR mini. Takes a bit of effort to blow water off large panels so I tend to use it on wheels, grills, mirrors, door handles etc but it's amazing for motorbikes and bikes.

I read somewhere (maybe on here) that a compressor has the possibility of spraying small amounts of oil. Dunno how true that is.

well its not a G20 (or even a BMW) and I didnt do it myself... but it has been detailing weekend so what the hell....
after a bath, it was given a claybar decontamination then some work with an electrical thing to remove microswirls, then a full compement of Gtechniq stuff - CSL for the body and relevant stuff for wheels, glass and interior.... Do I sound like I have a clue? Anyway, it looks and feels very nice.... |

And when you say proper hose, what did you go for? The default Karcher one does my head in constantly coiling up. Thanks

I got the short trigger and 10m hose and best £50 I've spent on car washing stuff.

I can see the short trigger would be a lot nicer. |

Anyone across the pond using Adam's Polishes? Heard a lot of good things, so I bought their Arsenal Kit w/ foam gun. Looking forward to using it this weekend...

You’re right so if it doesn’t trip a 13A socket they’re telling porkies with their power claims.

was that from directhoses.net? Seen some mixed reviews about the quality of the fittings on their hoses. Admittedly not particularly new, so wondered what your thoughts were. Thanks.
