Dusten Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have watched you videos and noticed your use of a leaf blower. I was wondering if you have any issues with blowing dust onto your car when using it or do you put a filter on the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunky Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I use a Metro Master Blaster, it blows warm filtered air! Me too! The ultimate toy for 100% touchless drying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusten Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Okay, I'm slow this morning. I don't get it. What are you guys giving me the business about? I think it was about your statement of having "no issues" because we have all seen that you have issues with Swirls and Scratches. Hummm... I just wish now I could fit my car into my Garage to do my cleaning. Oh I'm adding some pics. of the swirl city I have on my DD. It will need a lot of TLC. I do have another question but I'll start a new thread for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman2008 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hey Dusten, You might not hear back right away from Junk... hes getting ready or possibly already in transit to Carlisle for the big Corvette show. In his absence I'll say theres no point to putting a filter on the intake, but you do want to avoid blasting downward and stirring dirt up and getting it deposited on the paint. Also the use of detail spray or waterless as a drying agent when you get the last little bit of water will help guard against anything causing a swirl. I've used blowers and compressed air to dry for YEARS and as long as you're not working in a very dirty environment or intentionally trying to stir up debris it shouldn't be a concern. Okay Dylan, you owe me big time. I just nearly had a cow thinking I was supposed to be on a plane right now! That's next week!!! Now to answer Dustin, that is not an issue for me because I wash my car inside my garage. Now think about it. At what point am I going to use the blower? I'm going to use it right after I have just completed my sheeting rinse process. What that means is that the entire floor is going to be dripping wet. Thus, there is no dust to worry about. I even go as far as to wet the driveway down in front of the garage doors so that nothing from outside can blow into the garage. If it is windy outside, I'll close the doors. Thus, the blower cannot create any dust. I also don't point it at the ground as was previously mentioned. So to answer your question, I have no issues whatsoever.

Mr.Ls1 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Dylan! I use a leaf blower almost everytime (since i have yet to get drying towels) and i have never had a problem with stirring up dirt and debris. I think they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
