Doesn't it work well for blowing water off the car if it's coated? Worked pretty well w/ small air compressor

Was it pricey? I was thinking about getting the chemical guys one. I think it's under $50 on Amazon. The mirrors and trunk drive me nuts!!!

I got it from amazon for like $60 i think. From what I read, there were mixed reviews for the chem guys one. The detailer i go to uses this one, as does Zach I believe. So i went with what the pros use.

I bought the 4 HP bigger motor bigger version, tried it and not really impressed with it because it still have some little tiny water droplets that require a drying towels. It works well on wheels/tires and crevices but not so good on paint. Well, I'm just too OCD i guess. When you use it, you will see what I mean.

If you buy this, you should get the 8 HP version which is the master blaster, that one should work great on paint due to its power.

It was car wash day today and used the master blaster.

My car: ppf and cquartz finest
Water flew right off using the MB. Only needed one drying towel to blow a couple spots.

Parents car: no detail, decontamination in 3 years, applied hydro after wash

Water still flew off easily. Not as easy with my car but again, only required one drying towel. Then again.. I really didn't get old with it

I highly recommend it.

Getting ready to do a complete detail soon picked up some more MF MASTER PRO Everest 800G. Gotta say free shipping and they threw in two free MF to my order.

haha none of these are mine... I did a group buy for locals since I can get them at a crazy cheap price with a high quantity.

I take care of my own towels with Micro-Restore Microfiber Detergent Concentrate
