Review: DP Turbo Car Dryer

The DP Turbo Car Dryer is a game-changing tool for drying your vehicle. It’s 4x more powerful than other small, lightweight and portable blowers while offering several other drying attachments unoffered by other tools. One of my favorite features about the DP Turbo Car Dryer is its 35-foot power cord, which often eliminates the need for an extension cord in most situations. It’s much more convenient than you may think.

It can be used with one or two hands allowing a free hand to catch and dry water as you blow it out of cracks and crevices. Its thoughtful design allows you to customize the tool to how you like to use it and to adapt to different vehicles, situations and abilities. From maintaining your own personal vehicles to detailing full time it’s a very useful tool. If you've been looking around and waiting for an elite level, well-priced car dryer, this is it.

Something not advertised about the DP Dryer is you can use it on your interior too. The flexible 6-foot vinyl hose and vinyl-coated nozzle that will not scratch or mar scratch sensitive surfaces can get into the same intricate areas a vacuum attachment can. If you’re unable to suck the dirt out of the vehicle, you can try using the DP Turbo Car Dryer to blow the dirt out of the car or into an area where you can remove it.

Features:
  • Powerful 6.5 Peak HP Filtered Motor.
  • Extra-long 35 ft. Power Cord.
  • Customizable Setup.
  • Tons of Accessories & Options.
  • One or Two Hand Versatile Design.

When To Use:
  • Drying Vehicle.
  • Blowing "Stuff" Out Of Cracks & Crevices.
  • Interior Vacuum Alternative.

Plug it in. Notice the REALLY long cord.

Traditionally used with the hose in front.

DP Turbo Dryer can be rested on the ground while working.

I like to use the DP Turbo Dryer with the hose behind my back and over my shoulder. It frees up my other hand and gets the hose away from the vehicle and out of your workspace.

I'm able to hold my microfiber drying towel in addition to the DP Turbo Car Dryer in one hand. It does take some practice and hyper-awareness when working around a vehicle at first but it speeds up drying times.

Yes, there's a 35 ft. power cord.

Drying any remaining water after blowing out the cracks.

Over your shoulder and away from the vehicle.

Dry and move on. Start with the top of the vehicle and work your way down.

Blowing water and road debris out of the grill and bumper.

Works great after rinseless washing to get any left over solution.

Not much water left but it saves any drips later on.

Thanks everyone. I'll have some more tips in another thread in a couple weeks. I'm tinkering with some things.

When that goes on your new line of t-shirts and makes you millions. I'd like to see a check. ;)
 
*IF ANYONE IS CURIOUS*

The M3 pictured was coated with Pinnacle Black Label Paint Coating and it's been going strong for 5 winter months now.
 
Thanks, Scott

Out of curiosity, did you use a blower before to dry and, if so, which one and how would you compare the efficacy of the two in terms of speed?

I used to use the Metro Sidekick. I now mostly use the sidekick for interiors or for my helper.

The DP Dryer definitely speeds up drying if you aren't currently using something more powerful (only an air compressor comes to mind).

I quickly dry with a waffle weave towel to get most of the water off. Then blow everything off and out, and finish drying with a towel as I go around the car.
 
Thanks for the review with pictures. Can't wait for the follow up.
 
the old over the shoulder hose holder method :dblthumb2:
Thanks for the review!
 
It looks like a shoulder strap for the motor would be more helpful. You could then have a towel in one hand while blowing with the other. Otherwise it looks nice.

Thanks for the great review!
