Why not just buy a cheap hover and reverse the connections to the motor so it blows.

Some of the detailing pros use it. It's also known as the "Black Baron".  I know RussZS has an Aeolus which is supposed to be even more powerful.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

My leaf blower does a top job but this looks a bit more professional

Not got one but have used a mates. Nice long hose and unit is attached to the wall. Very powerful and easy to use as you have no weight to carry. Expensive though but if you can afford it then go for it as it means a touchless drying method which is a big plus.

Ah no good I am afraid. May have been able to sort something but down south, Berkshire way. Sorry.

I just picked one of these of fleabay for £130 plus its stainless steel so won't rust,not yet used it onthe car but tried it out inside..........cor blimey it can BLOW plusits not noisy as the leaf blower I used once on the car.

I got it cheaper than the item that CYC Polished Bliss can do it for and IMO a better piece of kit.

Might do a write up as and when. :smiley:

I have the Aeolus 901 too - great bit of kit and works just as well as the CYC model - no brainer :)
