What do you think? Hard to justify 300 for the master blaster, I have an air compressor, is just a leaf blower the way to go?
 
I haven't tried the other 2 options but I have a Master Blaster and its well worth it. I barely use a towel after I'm done using the MB to dry the car.
 
all 3 will work just fine.. do you want to completely dry the car with air or are focusing getting the water out of the small areas?

im sure its well worth the money (leaf blower does not compare to MB as far as power) but if your new or barely picking things up, spend $300 on more products, tools, etc..

The SideKick will be great to get all the small areas, MB will get most water but it wont really reduce time, leaf blower will remove most water, but will take longer
 
I've had a Master blaster for 2 years one of the best things I've bought for my business.
 
I've had a gas leaf blower for years and it works great for drying the family cars, (while wearing ear protection). Have also used the shop-vac.
Any of the three will get the job done.:xyxthumbs:
 
if you have the money then go for the master blaster. if you sheet as much water off as possible, then using the leaf blower will do just fine in getting the majority of water left over. you'll still have some droplets left behind in which a waffle weave/microfiber towel can take care of. if your car has a good coat of wax/sealant/coating then the water will fly right off alot easier...
 
I use my $28.00 leaf blower, it removes most of the water, I then wipe down the entire car using a QD and sof MF towel.
I'm sure the MB is a fine unit but I can't justify speeding that much money on it.
I'm sure if I was to buy one I'd think how I got along with it but my leaf blower works for me:)
 
If you use a compressor remember to use an inline moisture trap and filter as air compressors will accumulate water and oil in the tank. I use an hvlp 4 stage turbine to dry my car but it's an expensive tool that we use at work, but is the same turbine set up as a master blaster. I have used a leaf blower in the past and as long as it is clean it seemed to work good. :xyxthumbs:

Gas leaf blower = shooting gas particles in your paint


No idea why anyone would think of using gas in the first place....:bat:
 
If you can afford it, get a MB. It's just the right tool to have, period. It's the right tool for the job. For half the price you can get an AirForce Blaster. Still nice.
 
The Master Blaster is Epic amazing. Really great for getting alot of water off.

Most of the cars I do have super tight spots so i use Compressed air alot of the time.
 
I suppose it boils down to how meticulous you are about the detailing work you are doing. If blowing unfiltered air onto your car after washing it is acceptable, then a leaf blower will work just fine.
If you want heated and filtered air that you can guide into the smallest nooks and crannies on your car, then it will cost a little more. The master blaster comes with a long hose and attachments, and you can purchase additional attachments for it down the road - but boy, are they expensive.
If you read reviews form people that spent the money on the master blaster, you hardly ever hear anyone complain. Many will say it is a wise investment, some go as far as to say if was among the best tools they spent money on.
Many that don't have one will justify going with a shop vac or a leaf blower.
 
Just for the record, most leaf blowers have a filter screen so the motor doesnt suck up debris. I know my does and its a cheap Black & Decker unit.

Mine does as well, I would think all leaf blowers has filters.
