I bought a cordless leaf blower today. It should make drying my wheels a lot more fun. There is even a turbo button on it.
Also got leather master, M205, and some towels.

I've managed to break a few things and make a mess in my garage with the leaf blower already, so it should be a lot of fun for drying my car.

Yeah, I did. When I got to home depot they didn't have any left on the shelves, but after about 15 minutes of searching they were able to locate the last one for me. My friend told me amazon would be willing to price match home depot if I wasn't able to find it locally.

cool... i want my sidekick back. been using my leaf blower, damn thing is to powerful to use in the garage... i use it outside but make sure the ground around the car (5 to 7 feet, front, back and sides) are good and wet, so that i don't kick up any dirt while getting the water off the car.BTW, be careful with that leather master, good stuff but stinks to high heaven...

I've never noticed any odd stink when using Leather Master.
Let us know how the Metro Sidekick works. Just looking at the spec, it doesn't put out too much air compared to the leaf blower. 85 CFM at 160mph only seems like it's good for crevices and not whole car drying. Maybe it's time to step up to the Master Blaster. lol.

Recently took the family to Disneyland and remembered Chemical Guys were close by. I made the mistake of stopping by their shop. I plan on running a small detailing business on the weekend so that's why I kind of went overboard. My only regret is not getting this dual action polisher sooner. I'm not sure how I went so long without one.

I've noticed that not a lot of people talk about Mothers products. I used to use Meguires for almost everything until my neighbor waxed half my hood with Meguires, half with Mothers. The Mothers side was smooth and silky, and looked like glass. A rag slid right off. The Meguires'? It didn't. Sold on the spot. Quick detailing spray, spray wax, paste wax, liquid wax, wheel/tire shine, leather/plastic protectant----it doesn't matter. He compared each Meguires product side by side with Mothers. In each case, Mothers was the clear winner. I'm Not BSing At All!
I just wondered why Mothers products don't get mentioned by the posters & pros on these threads. I did see Mothers mentioned once, though. If there are car care products that really are better, sure I'll try them. Thanks for any help you can give to keep my new 2016 Autumn Shimmer NX 200t looking like new!
