    Vehicle dryer

    Anyone have recommendations for vehicle dryers to use after washing. I am tired of the water trails which present themselves after I start driving.

    I know there are tons out there and don't want to go crazy with $

    I used to use my leaf blower but I bought the Adams blaster sidekick. Little unit big punch. Perfect for the little crevices. It is my favorite car wash purchase. Use mops code when buying save 10% free shipping too.

    Most any forced air will help, but I have seen some mirrors that seem to create their own water. That being said. The Metro mini blaster is a great unit.

    If you dont want to shell out tons of money you can use a quick drying agent before you dry.

    What i like to do is wash, apply quick detailer and work it in quickly, take the nozzle off my hose and sheet the car with water starting from the roof. Alot of the water will be off the car and then i can come in with a damp drying micro fiber towel to finish it up.

    I use my metro blaster to get water out of all of the difficult to dry areas after each wash, then spray adams detail spray and wipe with microfiber. It works fantastic, never any water runs.

    Use my Master Blaster - interior and exterior

    EDIT: forgot to mention - has 2 toggle switches so you can run cool high volume air - with the second engaged it will heat the air and add a touch more volume to the air....helps with drying

    This is the answer. Wait for Detailers Domain to do a sale and jump on it, and don't forget the discount code for additional savings.

    That's the plan, just did an order from them and waiting to see what I got with the mystery box. Definitely will get a master blaster when it's on sale.

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions

    Go on their website at Adams polishes. I believe it's "foam".
