Master-Blaster heated air dryer

Anybody have/use one of these?
YouTube - AmericanGarage.com - AirForce Master Blaster Car Dryer

Kinda pricey, but looks useful.

I've got one...but mine looks more like this:



Honestly though they really do help. With a solid sealant, sheeting method, then my trust leaf blower, I rarely need a towel to dry my car. Just some blotting in certain areas.

Those master blasters are pricey ($240-$430). My $69 electric blower probably does as good. Good enough for me anyway...

Take a coffee mug, (first thing that came to mind) get it wet and then "blow dry" it with a hair dryer on the hot setting. Once dry, let it cool, then get it wet again and then blow dry it with the no heat setting, (blowing just cold air). It'll probably take 4 times as long.
Oh, wait, does your leaf blower heat the air as well???
I have not tried one but I'd like too...

It might not get the car 100% dry, but it is a **** ton more cost effective (IMO anyways) to pay $35 for a leaf blower than will simply get 99% of the water off the car and out of all the cracks than it is to pay hundreds for the same thing but with heated air. Then just take a waffle towel and take 10 seconds doing a quick wipedown.

Leaf blower >>> expensive heat gun

Duh, it's for ballers! and of course you're entitled to your own opinion.

With most shop vacs, you detatch the motor and use it as a blower. I use mine to dry my motorcycle or engine compartment. Just make sure the nozzle you use has not been used to vacuum anything up. Any debris left inside the nozzle/attachment could be blown out and will scratch whatever surface you are trying to dry. It actually works very well and it is a lot cheaper than buying one of these "master blaster" dryers. Plus you can clean the inside of you car.
