Id guess thats where the extra money went and it makes sense i guess.... for us mere porpers ill have to improvise and carry the thing!!

i bought the anti rust for the brake disks as well to stop the pads sticking to them. Works pretty well after my first tests. Hate it when washing a car and parking it afterwards that they completely seize.

No more though.

oh wow!! perfect!!


it arrived yesterday and the power level at 2800W is bonkers!! the hose is 3 metres long and seems to be more than long enough, my son and i had a real laugh blowing everything around the house! lol. i'm going to swap the power cable to a 8 metre one and i think it will give me good service for my requirements, maybe if i do well ill upgrade in a few years.

Mine arrived today. The power is unbelievable!! If you let go of the hose it thrashes around like an anaconda with an elephant stood on it’s tail!!! God knows what the neighbors will think when they see me blowing the car with a giant hairdryer 🙈

Don't forget the ear protectors. Those things are very noisy, and blowing through the wheels would make your ears whistle :lol:
