Default Metro Air Force Blaster ?

I have been washing my bike using a Mr Clean attachment to minize the water spots and it has worked well but I'm thinking of buying a metro Air Force Blaster to dry my bike after washing. The info says that it will eliminate water spots and cut drying time. Is any one out there using this product and do you like it ? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I use something similar and it works great along with that Mr. Clean attachment you're using. A lot of people though will tell you to save your money and just buy an electric leaf blower instead if you're going that route.

Couple years ago myself and a few of the guys I ride with 'chipped in' and purchased an Air Force Blaster.

Before that we normally used a leaf blower type thing, and all I can say is that the Air Force Blaster is an excellent product that works perfectly.

I've got one of these. Some of the best money I've spent. Warm, filtered air. Plenty of folks here will tell you to use an air compressor or a leaf blower.

There are plenty of impurities that can damage your paint. The Metro Blaster is a good investment for your investment.

I just picked up the Blaster Sidekick, small and pushes out a LOT of warm filtered air. Can be carried in the saddlebag.

Works very, very well and I got mine for under a C note.

Yeah, I didn't even know about the 'Blaster' until I noticed that quite a few guys at bike shows were using them on their custom bikes.

After talking with them and getting their opinions I decided the filtered air (along withthe many attachments included) was the way to go.

Great product, I also use it to dry my cars off after washing them in the winter. Check e-bay, your find them cheaper there then at dealers.

I have the Blaster Sidekick & the filtered WARMER air really works. AAA+ for $89.00.

For the past few years I've used this JC Whitney Cycle Dryer, priced $49. Works great!
